The Trump administration announced on Tuesday plans to cut an additional $450 million in grants to Harvard. This decision stems from the administration’s view that the university has “repeatedly failed” to address anti-Semitism on campus.
A member of Trump’s task force remarked, “There is a dark issue on Harvard campus, and by prioritizing settlements against accountability, institutional leaders have forfeited the school’s claims for taxpayer support.”
Another statement noted, “Harvard University and its leadership group, marred by significant violations, now face a challenging path to restore its status as a credible institution within academic excellence.”
This latest funding reduction will affect at least eight federal agencies. The announcement follows the completion of a separate $2.2 billion grant that was previously dissolved by the task force.
“The broader federal agency has revealed the termination of approximately $450 million in grants to Harvard, alongside the previously mentioned $2.2 billion that has ended,” the official said Tuesday morning.
