Harvard University President Gets Standing Ovation After Taking Dig at Trump During Graduation Speech

Harvard University hosted its commencement ceremony for the class of 2025 on Thursday, May 29, amid the institution's ongoing feud with President Donald Trump and his administration.

The ceremony, held at the historic Tercentenary Theatre in Harvard Yard, featured remarks from prominent students, illustrious keynote speakers and faculty heads, each of whom addressed the tensions between the university and the current political administration.

Most notably, Harvard President Alan Garber began his remarks with an apparent dig at the Trump administration's attempts to kick out all of the university's foreign students.

"To the class of 2025, from down the street, across the country and around the world," he began, pausing for applause before repeating himself for emphasis. "Around the world, just as it should be."
