Harvard University has removed its websites for the Women's Center, Office for BGLTQ Student Life, and Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations. This action appears to align with the Trump Administration's demands to end diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Dean Hopi Hoekstra announced the creation of a new Office for Academic Culture and Community aimed at fostering a supportive and connected environment. Harvard has not clarified the status of the removed centers but plans to provide further information in the fall semester. Federal funding threats were made by Trump over non-compliance with his demands.
"This new office is part of the [university's] ongoing effort to break down silos, ensuring all members of our community are connected, supported and empowered to contribute to a thriving intellectual environment," Hoekstra wrote.
"Harvard has not confirmed that its centers serving women, LGBTQ+, and multicultural students will remain in place, but Hoekstra said in her email that more information would be available upon the start of the fall semester."
