Harvard University has announced that it will no longer issue official statements on political or social issues that do not directly impact the institution's core function. This decision comes after months of unrest on college campuses related to the Israel-Hamas war, scandals of antisemitism, anti-Israel protests, and the ouster of former president Claudine Gay over plagiarism in her past scholarship. The university aims to avoid controversies and maintain focus on its primary mission.
