If you, like me, were born and raised in a free democracy, you likely share my belief in due process, the rule of law, freedom of speech, and the right to manage your life in your own chosen way.
In light of the federal government‘s attack on everything that Harvard University has stood for and cherished for centuries, I urge you to read the attached letter from President Alan Garber to his community. He eloquently articulates the University‘s values and the gravity of the situation. I encourage you to express your gratitude and appreciation for President Garber‘s courageous actions here.
In a climate where speaking out can be dealt with harshly, I sign this letter, as he must have, with hesitation.
