Recently, the Trump administration has made Harvard University a primary target, unveiling a series of controversial measures aimed at the Ivy League-led U.S. higher education system.

This episode underscores how deeply entwined politics and higher education have become in the U.S., raising questions about the future direction of academic institutions nationwide.
