A Harvard adjunct professor apologized Thursday after Ivy League president Alan Garber Strict internal reporting Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia exposed to campuses are prevalent.

"In fact, I appreciate the letter from the president of the university," the Harvard professor added. "What I really like is that in science, we say you can't solve any problem unless you ask a question. So he asked the question in the letter. He admitted it was a problem. Otherwise, nothing would happen."

"I think this is a step in the absolutely right direction," Litvak told Fox News Digital. "I want to see the fruit of it. But again, I'm very, very happy because of admitting there is such a problem."

Reducing government spending, similar to layoffs, said the professor, is likely to be the solution to the looming crisis.
“I agree to the goal of reducing waste. It’s a very timely requirement to reduce waste. Professor Harvard added that this is much needed. “Before doing this, if I make a decision, before firing people, I’ll say, ‘How do we improve the efficiency of what we already have?

While Litvak has driven changes in the public health care field, dark clouds continue to hang above the University in Boston due to tensions between the Trump administration and Ivy League schools, showing no signs of cooling.
More than $2.2 billion in freezing research grants are still underway, and the lawsuit is still underway and funds may be held in the summer. Harvard President Alan Garber said the “consequences” of the decision to retain the grant will be “severe and lasting” and could affect work similar to what Professor Litvak hopes to achieve.
