US EditionTrump administration finds Harvard failed to protect Jewish students, threatens to cut all funding
- The Trump administration warned Harvard University that it could lose all federal financial support if it does not promptly address issues related to the harassment of Jewish students, as detailed in a letter sent in June 2025.
- Following an inquiry by a federal task force, it was determined that Harvard failed to adequately address antisemitism during campus protests connected to the Gaza conflict in October 2023, resulting in a breach of civil rights protections under federal law.
- The investigation revealed that most Jewish students encountered discrimination or prejudice, with 25% reporting feeling physically threatened, and incidents on campus included antisemitic images and physical attacks.
- The administration estimated about 30 federal contracts worth $100 million might be cut and had already frozen $2.65 billion in research grants after Harvard rejected federal demands for governance, hiring, and admissions reforms.
- This conflict has escalated Harvard's strained relationship with the federal government and could further jeopardize its funding unless adequate changes are implemented immediately.
