Harvard’s stand against Trump is helping it raise more money

Samuel Graham-Felsen, who had never donated to Harvard after graduating, made his first donation this week, saying he would give more if Trump continues to punish the university financially. This decision was influenced by the university’s rejection of demands from the Trump administration, leading to a freeze in funding and threats to revoke tax-exempt status. Graham-Felsen, a Jewish novelist from New Jersey, donated $108, citing his rejection of the government’s actions against Harvard. Other alumni, including former President Obama, also expressed support for the university in its stance against the government.
