Header centered at top, in Crimson text: Our Resolve Statement beginning in black text: We all know that Harvard is not perfect. We, the workers who fulfill this University’s core teaching and research missions, consistently strive and organize to better this institution. We also know that the Trump administration’s attack on Harvard has nothing to do with antisemitism. Simply put, this is an assault on learning, academic freedom, and critical inquiry. Destroying the good that Harvard does by cutting its federal funding will not address antisemitism on campus. If anything, weaponizing allegations of antisemitism as a transparent pretext for destroying American higher education—threatening life-saving research, outstanding teaching, and cutting-edge innovation—only causes more harm to our Jewish colleagues, members, and students. Institutions of higher education, including Harvard, do good in society. We work here because we believe in educating future generations who will continue to build a better world. We work here because we believe in the importance of research conducted to benefit the public, not to turn a profit. And we work here because we believe that this institution has the potential and the will to become a place where everyone, regardless of background or belief, can succeed. Our resolve is to continue this work of the University—together. In the face of this multifaceted political attack, we will resist authoritarian intimidation by continuing our research and teaching, and by organizing in solidarity with one another. We call on the University administration to resist this intimidation with us, marshalling Harvard’s considerable resources and power to fulfill the promise of the University’s vital mission.
