He’s abusing the power of the federal government to attack higher education and undermine freedoms

 

'Headline: Trump administration asks IRS to revoke Harvard's tax-emept status'

Friend, Trump’s attacks on Harvard University is only the latest step in his authoritarian agenda of scaring institutions into silence.

There are many issues to tackle in higher education — from the skyrocketing cost of tuition to improving pathways to lifelong careers — but Trump isn’t interested in addressing those.

No, this is a political attack against an institution that he sees as an enemy. And throughout history, dictators and authoritarians have used their power to go after educational institutions because they are hubs for free speech, the sharing of ideas, and organized dissent.

Harvard is a critical piece of Massachusetts’s legacy as a leader in education and an important contributor to our economy through jobs, lifesaving research, technology, and more.

And beyond Harvard, Trump has opened investigations into dozens more colleges along with threatening their funding. He’s abusing the power of the federal government to attack higher education and undermine freedoms. We can’t let him.

Ed is committed to doing everything he can in the Senate to oppose Trump’s attacks on higher education and focus on the issues that really matter instead of authoritarian crackdowns.
