US EditionTrump says he’s considering giving $3B of Harvard grant money to trade schools
- On May 26, 2025, President Trump revealed he is weighing the option of withdrawing $3 billion in federal grants currently allocated to Harvard University and reallocating those funds to support trade schools nationwide.
- This move follows a months-long conflict in which the Trump administration has revoked $60 million in grants and barred Harvard from enrolling foreign students pending a lawsuit and court rulings.
- Trump labeled Harvard as strongly antisemitic, accused the university of withholding information about its foreign students, and asserted that authorities would ultimately prevail, while Harvard maintains that these measures threaten academic freedom.
- Harvard, with over 7,000 international students and a $53.2 billion endowment, secured a federal judge's temporary injunction blocking the enrollment ban, and it is suing to restore funding and protect its independence.
- If Trump proceeds, the reallocation of $3 billion to trade schools and related policies could face further legal challenges and intensify a broader political campaign supporting vocational education and targeting elite universities.
