As the Trump administration halts about $2.7 billion in Harvard University funding, the school’s president is absorbing some of the financial impacts by taking a 25 % pay cut, according to a university spokesperson.

As the US government slashes Harvard University’s funding, the damage to research at the school is becoming clearer. Nature has learnt that researchers at the university have lost nearly 1,000 grants worth more than US$2.4 billion.

Harvard President Alan Garber is voluntarily taking a 25 percent pay cut for fiscal year 2026, a spokesperson confirmed to The Washington Post.

Harvard University is putting up $250 million of its own money to continue campus research amid a federal funding freeze imposed by the Trump administration, but the school’s president warns of sacrifices ahead.

Harvard University's president says he is taking a voluntary 25% pay cut, though the university isn't saying what he makes or how much he is giving up.

A federal judge blocked President Trump's order banning international students at Harvard, but the effort has prompted concern at campuses nationwide among students and university leaders.
