赵颖: 本期节目讨论哈佛大学起诉特朗普政府冻结数十亿美元联邦拨款一事，分析此事件对高等教育和美国社会的影响。 王浩澜: 哈佛大学与特朗普政府的冲突是美国保守派与高等教育长期矛盾的体现，特朗普政府利用联邦拨款、国际学生招生资格等手段向哈佛大学施压，试图改变其意识形态立场。 Edward Lehman: 哈佛大学主动提起诉讼，表明其寻求对话解决问题，而非被动应对。特朗普政府的行动与其说是出于对校园反犹太主义的担忧，不如说是为了推进其更广泛的意识形态目标，特别是针对多元、公平和包容（DEI）政策。 Joseph Siracusa: 特朗普政府对哈佛大学的行动并非真正关心反犹太主义，而是为了打击其认为对保守价值观持敌对态度的院校，并以此获得政治利益。此举造成短期混乱，但长期来看，美国高等教育和科研实力将受到损害。
