Trump administration freezes $2.2 billion in grants to Harvard after university defies its demands over campus protests
The Trump administration has announced the freezing of about $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard University due to the school's refusal to follow policy demands.
Harvard President Alan M. Garber stated, 'The university will not surrender its independence or its constitutional rights.'
The Department of Education confirmed the funding freeze following Harvard's rejection of the demands, affecting over $2 billion in grants.
Garber claimed that the administration’s demands violate Harvard’s First Amendment rights.
