The Trump administration is increasing financial pressure on Harvard University, targeting many of the school’s funding sources in an effort to root out antisemitism in American higher education.
After Harvard refused to more effectively curb unlawful student activity and reform any programs “with egregious records of antisemitism or other bias,” the U.S. Department of Education announced Monday it was freezing $2.2 billion in federal funding to the university, as The Center Square reported.
The Department of Homeland Security has joined the pushback, with Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday terminating two DHS grants to Harvard worth $2.7 million, declaring the university is “unfit to be entrusted with taxpayers’ dollars.”
