Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

US sees biggest drop in Australian visitors since Covid as travellers avoid Trump’s America Almost 4,600 fewer people went to the US in March compared with the same time last year, according to government data
