Harvard University announced on Tuesday that it would no longer take official positions on policy issues following widespread student-led protests over the war in Gaza.
The decision from Harvard comes after the university formed a working group in April to decide if it should continue making public comment on “salient issues”, according to an email announcing the decision.
The working group determined: “The university and its leaders should not … issue official statements about public matters that do not directly affect the university’s core function.”
