Gov. Maura Healy (D-MA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Beat” that the Trump administration’s $2.2 billion freeze has frozen Harvard into “smacks of past prestigious administrations.”
Healy said, “Harvard says it’s enough. And to make me clear, I was a civil rights lawyer. I was the Attorney General. There is no anti-Semitism place in society on our university campuses or elsewhere.
She continued. “This is a point that people really need to understand, and this is really another attempt by Donald Trump to silence those who oppose him. Bullyers, in this case, our college and university were bullied and tried to silence law firms, businesses and people in everyday life.”
Healy said, “Look, it’s abusive power. That’s what you’re doing when you talk about people disappearing from our streets, including foreign students on a workplace visa here, when you talk about people disappearing from our streets, if you have really important economic consequences for our country here, you want to nurture us first. I want to nurture our science because you want to nurture us, so I want to nurture our science for scientists. The overseas entrepreneurs are doing what Donald Trump is doing by cutting funds to our universities.”
