The Trump administration has suspended all new federal grants to Harvard University, escalating tensions between the government and the Ivy League institution. Previously, $2.2 billion in federal funds were frozen, and now Harvard must address a series of demands concerning its management, admissions policies, and campus culture, particularly relating to antisemitism and diversity of views. The administration claims these steps are necessary for Harvard to prove it can uphold rigorous academic standards. The decision signifies a continued effort by Trump to influence higher education institutions and challenge perceived liberal biases.
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.
The Trump administration accused Harvard of serious failures, stating it has allowed antisemitism and racial discrimination to perpetuate, abandoned rigorous academic standards, and failed to allow a range of views on its campus.
