Trump administration says it is freezing billions in grant funding to Harvard

  • In mid-April 2025, the Trump administration froze $2.3 billion in federal research funding to Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
  • The freeze followed allegations against Harvard of serious failures including antisemitism, racial discrimination, abandonment of academic rigor, and lack of viewpoint diversity.
  • The administration demanded Harvard eliminate diversity programs, ban masks at protests, enforce merit-based admissions, and disclose foreign students' discipline records to restore funding.
  • Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated Harvard must "demonstrate responsible management of the university" and condemned its "terrible behavior" undermining public trust in higher education.
  • Harvard condemned the funding freeze as a violation of its constitutional rights, sued for release of funds, and affirmed it will not surrender its independence amid ongoing federal investigations.
