Harvard Accused by Trump Administration of Financial Instability

  • On September 19, 2025, the Trump administration increased federal oversight of Harvard University’s finances and warned of potential penalties related to its admissions policies.
  • This action followed years of legal and administrative scrutiny, including a 2014 student lawsuit, a 2023 Supreme Court ban on racial consideration, and federal investigations into Harvard's compliance.

  • Recently, a court in Boston directed the government to release approximately $2.2 billion in federal grants, but Education Secretary Linda McMahon cautioned that additional enforcement measures could be taken if Harvard does not comply.
  • The heightened cash monitoring requires Harvard to disburse aid with its own funds before reimbursement, implying increased oversight and potential financial risk for the university.
