The spending cuts, expected to total $85 billion this fiscal year, will reduce research capabilities at academic institutions. Harvard, for example, relies on the federal government for nearly 60 percent of its research and development funding. The university's two biggest sources of research funding, the National Institute of Health and the National Science Foundation, could each see several millions of dollars in funding this fiscal year alone.

Students have used social media to encourage others to participate in the protest. The Vassar LGBT community said that it hopes to collaborate with other students and staff in order to respond adequately to the church's message.
