#EricHolcomb is a former two-term #Republican governor of #Indiana who just taught a seminar at #Harvard. He reports good experiences with faculty and students, and none of the horror stories his conservative friends warned him to expect. He even found that Harvard is doing useful medical research.

But he thinks this is a result of centrist backlash against extremism, pressure from the #Trump administration, or both.
"What I’ve experienced may be a natural return to Harvard’s more moderate bearings, following noisy displays of intolerance by campus agitators in recent years. Or it may be due to the Trump administration’s forceful executive orders and fiscal pressure. Either way (and it’s probably both), let’s take the win."
