Harvard is exploring establishing a center for conservative scholarship as it volleys strike after strike from the Trump administration.
The initiative “will ensure exposure to the broadest ranges of perspectives on issues, and will not be partisan,” a Harvard spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal, adding it would emphasize “evidence-based, rigorous logic and a willingness to engage with opposing views.”
The Ivy League school has already pitched the idea—potentially modeled on Stanford’s Hoover Institution, a right-leaning think tank—to prospective donors, according to the Journal, with one person familiar with the talks estimating the project could cost between $500 million and $1 billion.
