UNC condemned political violence in its announcement about placing Dixon on administrative leave Monday. 

Fox News Digital asked Harvard and the three faculty members who participated in the panel whether they condemn political violence. None returned requests for comment. 

Dixon could not be reached for comment.

The Trump administration is battling with the Ivy League school over billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants. Trump froze $2.4 billion in grants to Harvard earlier this year amid pro-Palestinian protests and antisemitism on campus. 

But just this week, Trump said a deal with Harvard had been worked out to restore the funding, which includes the university putting $500 million towards trade schools. 

“We’re in the process of getting very close, and [Secretary of Education] Linda [McMahon] is finishing up the final details, and they’d be paying about $500 million,” Trump said. “And they’ll be operating trade schools, and they’ll be teaching people how to do AI and lots of other things. Engines, lots of things.”
