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.

- 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.
