Harvard University Faces New $450 Million Grant Cuts Amid Ongoing Tensions with Trump Administration
Harvard's funding slashed by another $450 million after disagreements over diversity policies and allegations of liberal bias.
Overview
Harvard University is now facing an additional $450 million cut in grants from the Trump administration, escalating tensions over allegations of discrimination and antisemitism. This reduction follows a letter from a federal antisemitism task force, which accused Harvard of becoming a 'breeding ground for virtue signaling and discrimination.' In total, the university has seen $2.2 billion in federal funding frozen due to ongoing disputes regarding its hiring practices and compliance with government expectations concerning diversity and inclusion. Harvard President Alan Garber disputes these claims, asserting that the university is nonpartisan and in compliance with federal regulations.
