The Trump administration has repeatedly attacked higher education institutions, alleging they fail to curb anti-Semitism, or for “illegal and immoral discrimination” in the form of diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) programmes.Last year, pro-Palestine

protests and encampmentssprang up in several US universities, including Columbia, Yale, New York University (NYU) and Harvard.On January 29, Trump signed an executive order titled “Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism”, ordering executive department heads to submit a report on all criminal and civil authorities and actions available for fighting anti-Semitism.

A day after he signed this order, Trump was quoted in a White House fact sheet, saying: “To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you. I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”Trump has since frozen federal funding to several universities, including Columbia and Harvard.

With that funding at risk, universities are even more reliant on their endowment funds to sustain the research they conduct.

However, endowments are subject to restrictions and donors decide how most of the endowment is spent. In Harvard’s case, donors decide where 70 percent of the annual endowment distribution is spent.A 2024 review of 67 studies found that fully vaccinated pregnant women had a 61 percent lower likelihood of a COVID-19 infection during pregnancy.

In its June meeting, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices might move towards less sweeping recommendations for vaccinating children, closer to those that Kennedy enacted.“If you listened to the discussions in the most recent previous meeting, they very much seemed to be moving in a more targeted approach,” Schaffner said.

The question of pregnant women may be one where the advisory committees may recommend more flexibility with vaccine usage than what Kennedy’s video statement seems to suggest, Schaffner said.Other areas where the panels could back greater flexibility could be for otherwise healthy people who serve as caregivers or who live with more vulnerable people who are advanced in age or are immunocompromised.
