What has she done since? Has she done anything to warrant a Harvard fellowship? As far as I can tell, her greatest contribution to humanity has been a novel use of emojis on twitter.
She stood up to this power, suffered personally for it, and survived. That is a very strong message, and its one that needs to be heard - not just by the privileged students of Harvard, but the world at large.
She's a hero, because she thwarted elite power brokers' ability to rule, un-hindered by public opinion. If this is not a valuable asset to future generations of public, needing education, I don't know what it is - but of course it should come as no surprise that the power elite do not want younger generations to respect her sacrifice.
It is clearly not going to be good for the military-industrial complex if more, younger people, start questioning the lies they are told about why their nation state is at war, exporting wholesale destruction to the world.

I agree completely. Also, we shouldn't let up on our "questioning" simply because someone from our club is president.
We should also not make the mistake of personalising the criminal government around the single figurehead. Sure, Trump hate is in fashion, as was Obama hate and Bush hate, but its a much, much bigger problem than can just be represented by a figurehead. Those figureheads are there to direct our hatred from the real targets behind the scenes: the generals and CEO's currently driving Americas' military-industrial complex into endless conquering follies.
She was expected to help "fulfill the Institute's mission of engaging students in discourse on topical issues of today, including ... issues of LGBTQ identity in the military".
You know that 'fellow' is a catch-all term, right? Even for Harvard, it doesn't mean there must have been a great contribution to humanity.
