Harvard's commencement underscored the university's commitment to diversity and resilience against political challenges, notably an attempt by Donald Trump to restrict international student enrollment. The event featured emotionally charged speeches, particularly from President Alan Garber, who celebrated Harvard's global community. His warm reception reflected support amid political tensions, as the university stands firm against the Trump Administration’s actions perceived as authoritarian. Despite financial ramifications from federal retaliation, Harvard positions itself as a beacon of higher education values and diversity.
"His was not the only voice at the event which cracked with emotion when speaking. Garber did not refer to the university's ongoing fight against the Trump Administration, which is ostensibly about antisemitism and not about it at all."
