Harvard hit with new $450 mn grant cut amid growing clash with Trump admin

President Donald Trump's administration is cutting another USD 450 million in grants to Harvard University a day after the Ivy League school pushed back against government allegations that it's a hotbed of liberalism and antisemitism. In a letter to Harvard on Tuesday, a federal antisemitism task force said Harvard will lose grants from eight federal agencies in addition to USD 2.2 billion that was previously frozen by the Trump administration. The letter said Harvard has become a breeding ground for virtue signalling and discrimination and faces a steep, uphill battle to reclaim its legacy as a place of academic excellence. There is a dark problem on Harvard's campus, and by prioritising appeasement over accountability, institutional leaders have forfeited the school's claim to taxpayer support, the letter said. It was signed by officials at the Education Department, Health and Human Services and the General Services Administration. University officials did not immediately provid

Trump admin halts new grants to Harvard over unmet White House demands

Harvard University will receive no new federal grants until it meets a series of demands from President Donald Trump's administration, the Education Department announced Monday. The action was laid out in a letter to Harvard's president and amounts to a major escalation of Trump's battle with the Ivy League school. The administration previously froze USD 2.2 billion in federal grants to Harvard, and Trump is pushing to strip the school of its tax-exempt status. In a press call, an Education Department official said Harvard will receive no new federal grants until it demonstrates responsible management of the university and satisfies federal demands on a range of subjects. It applies to federal research grants and not federal financial aid students receive to help cover tuition and fees. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to preview the decision on a call with reporters. The official accused Harvard of serious failures in four areas: antisemitism, racial discrimination, ..

Harvard vows reforms after internal reports on antisemitism, anti-Arab bias

Harvard University is promising to review its academic offerings and admissions policies in response to a pair of internal reports on antisemitism and anti-Arab prejudice at the Ivy League campus commissioned in the aftermath of last spring's pro-Palestinian protests. Harvard released the reports on Tuesday while the university simultaneously battles the Trump administration over demands to limit campus activism reforms the government says are necessary to root out campus antisemitism. The administration has frozen USD 2.2 billion in federal funding and Harvard responded with a lawsuit in a clash that is being watched closely across higher education. In a campus message, Harvard President Alan Garber said Harvard has made necessary changes and essential progress over the last year but promised further action. We will redouble our efforts to ensure that the University is a place where ideas are welcomed, entertained and contested in the spirit of seeking truth, Garber wrote. Garber

Harvard University announced Monday that it was suing the Trump administration to halt a freeze on more than USD 2.2 billion in grants after the institution said it would defy the Trump administration's demands to limit activism on campus. In a letter to Harvard earlier this month, Trump's administration had called for broad government and leadership reforms at the university, as well as changes to its admissions policies. It also demanded the university audit views of diversity on campus, and stop recognising some student clubs. Harvard President Alan Garber said the university would not bend to the government's demands. Hours later, the government froze billions of dollars in federal funding.

Homeland Security threatens to revoke Harvard's ability to enrol foreigners

The US Department of Homeland Security has threatened to revoke Harvard University's ability to enrol foreign students if it failed to provide by April 30 records on its international student visa holders' "illegal and violent" activities. It also cancelled grants totalling more than USD 2.7 million to Harvard University. The latest action from the Trump administration against Harvard comes on the heels of a USD 2.2 billion federal funding freeze because the university rejected a list of demands.
