Harvard University is facing the potential loss of its federal funding as tensions with the Trump Administration escalate. In a recent letter, the U.S. General Services Administration urged federal agencies to reconsider their contracts with Harvard, seeking alternative vendors. Key issues include Harvard's refusal to comply with demands related to its hiring practices, diversity programs, and handling of discipline. The university's non-compliance could jeopardize $2.2 billion in federal grants and affect other funding sources, leading to further actions like attempts to revoke its tax-exempt status.
The Trump Administration has targeted a number of colleges and universities over their diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and pro-Palestinian demonstrations on their campuses.
Harvard's defiance of the demands initially put $2.2 billion in multi-year federal grants at risk, alongside additional funding sources from several federal departments.
