While Harvard is fighting against Trump, his president will take a reduction in wages of 25%

Harvard University, which is conflict with the Trump administration because of its academic independence and the withdrawal of billions of dollars from dollars, said on Wednesday that his president decided to reduce his own salary by this year by 25 percent.

The university has not revealed any details about its remuneration package for President Alan M. Garber, who became a permanent guide last year. Its youngest predecessors were paid around 1 million US dollars a year.

Whatever it is in dollars, wage reduction is a symbolic gesture compared to the extent of the university's struggle with the federal government, which has already blocked more than 2.6 billion US dollars for the financing of Harvard.

A university spokesman, Jonathan L. Swain, said Dr. Garber would be reduced from July 1 when Harvard's next financial year begins. The university, which has already stopped and suspended the new hiring for many employees, said that other Harvard executives are planning contributions to the school.

The university recognized the decision of Dr. Garber on the day after expanding her lawsuit against the Trump administration.

The government presented a number of intrusive requirements of Harvard last month and claimed that the university had not done enough to combat anti -Semitism. The university has strongly denied these accusations. Last week Linda McMahon said that the education secretary said that Harvard no longer entitled to further federal grants.
