The President of the US Elite University Harvard draws consequences from the government’s middle cuts and dispenses with part of his salary. From July 1st, he will receive a quarter less.
In view of the US government’s other medium-sized shortcuts, the President of the Elite University Harvard, Alan Garber, plans to do without 25 percent of his salary. The reduction in salary is scheduled to begin with the new financial year on July 1, as several US media reported unanimously, citing the university. According to this, Harvard president usually earn about one million dollars (around 900,000 euros) a year.
The government of US President Donald Trump had several universities, which she accuses of left-liberal orientation, put under financially pressure and demanded that you stop diversity programs. In contrast to other universities, Harvard opposes the far -reaching demands, for example, which deal with admission procedures, rules of conduct and personnel decisions. The university is also legal against the government.
$ 2.6 billion less
In the course of this dispute, the funds of the elite university are continued. It was only at the beginning of this week that eight federal authorities announced that the Harvard University will delete further funding of around $ 450 million, as the Task Force announced the US government to combat anti-Semitism. The step takes place in addition to the $ 2.2 billion on ice already on ice in multi -year federal grants. Among other things, it was said that the university had repeatedly failed to act against anti -Semitism on her campus.
Garber protested and criticized the fact that the government has already ignored the university’s steps to combat anti -Semitism on its campus. He accused the government to intervene “in the constitutional freedom of private universities”.
