After the Golden State Warriors' victory over Memphis, coach Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball t-shirt, expressing support for the university amid pressure from the Trump administration. Harvard faces a $2.2 billion grant freeze due to its stance against limited political activism on campus. Kerr emphasized the importance of academic freedom and criticized government overreach, stating, "It's crucial... they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say by our government." He expressed admiration for Harvard's response and reaffirmed his history of engaging in political discussions beyond basketball.
I believe in academic freedom... for all our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to.
It's kind of par for the course right now... so yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go, way to stand up to the bully.
