The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health faced a crisis as it received news that over 130 researchers would lose federal funding due to a standoff with the Trump administration. The school, which relies significantly on government funding, stands to lose thousands of dollars that could jeopardize careers and medical advancements. Amanda Spickard highlighted the overwhelming situation the team found themselves in, shifting from routine tasks to managing an existential threat for nearly 200 researchers, amid claims from the administration that wealthy institutions should self-fund.
Amanda Spickard expressed the enormity of their challenge, saying, 'We're professional troubleshooters, but now for 190 people at the same time, all facing an existential crisis.'
In a letter to Harvard, Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated that the university 'should have no problem' funding its work without federal assistance, given its substantial endowment.
