US EditionTrump administration says it is freezing billions in grant funding to Harvard
- On Monday, the Trump administration announced it is freezing billions of dollars in federal research grants to Harvard University due to alleged policy violations.
- This action follows allegations of antisemitism linked to pro-Palestinian protests and disputes over affirmative action and campus policies, prompting a formal federal review of nearly $9 billion in funding.
- The Education Department demands Harvard end diversity programs, ban masks during protests, enact merit-based admissions, and provide discipline records for foreign students while Harvard rejects these demands, suing for release of funds.
- The administration has suspended approximately $2.2 billion in federal research grants spanning multiple years and has threatened to revoke Harvard's tax-exempt status and restrict its capacity to host international students if the university fails to comply with federal requirements.
- Harvard, the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university with a $53 billion endowment, intends to continue operating independently using private funds if federal support is withdrawn, amid escalating disputes involving its autonomy and government regulations.
