Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Harvard University says it will "not accept" 10 demands by the Trump administration, which are ostensibly to address antisemitism and include shuttering of DEI programs and restricting acceptance of international students who are "hostile to the American values and institutions." In an email to the university community, President Alan M. Garber said Harvard had been told it would need to comply if it would like to "maintain financial relationship with the federal government."

Kalvin Carefour Johnny<p>I used to attend a university for a diploma in computer engineering. After a few semesters, I decided to stop studying there. I needed to withdraw. However, what they call "student peers"—I am not sure what the term is in English—were being reductionist and maximalist regarding the official documents, stating that I had already agreed to and chosen the university and the study program in the online application form. This is not fair. I believe it is important to treat each person as an individual, as a whole person, rather than merely considering what I have done to prevent me from leaving. I wasn't there to fulfill their collectivist culture, believing I should prioritize the university's name and dignity at the cost of my own. At the moment, I want to take a break from writing this, as my mind is troubled by thoughts of my past, including the emotional abuse I experienced from the university staff. Unfair, right?</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/StudentRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/InstitutionalRigidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InstitutionalRigidity</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FairTreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairTreatment</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EducationalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EducationalJustice</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Individuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Individuality</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EmotionalAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmotionalAbuse</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AcademicFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/StudentSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentSupport</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HigherEducation</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/UniversityPolicies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversityPolicies</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PersonalGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalGrowth</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RespectForIndividuals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RespectForIndividuals</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EducationalReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EducationalReform</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/StudentWellbeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentWellbeing</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MentalWellness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalWellness</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PersonalChoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalChoice</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AcademicIntegrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicIntegrity</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/StudentVoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentVoice</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FairPolicies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairPolicies</span></a></p>
