In the years since October 7, 2023, Harvard University has been in crisis: the social fabric of campus was torn apart by chaotic pro-Palestine protests, president Claudine Gay was ensnared in plagiarism allegations, its affirmative action policies had been struck down by the Supreme Court, the school was named the worst college in the country for free expression, grade inflation was running rampant, and the Trump administration’s ire was directed at its federal funding. The nation’s premier university — and American higher education more broadly — had lost the faith of students, faculty, donors, and the public alike. But the only place to go from rock bottom is up.
