US EditionUS Recommends Harvard Be Excluded From Federal Funding, HHS Says
- On September 29, the U.S. Health and Human Services agency initiated suspension and debarment procedures against Harvard University, which could prevent the institution from obtaining federal contracts and funding.
- This referral follows HHS’s conclusion that Harvard showed a conscious disregard for antisemitic discrimination on campus since October 7, 2023, after unsuccessful efforts to achieve voluntary compliance.
- Harvard disputes these claims, citing its own anti-bias efforts and citing a federal judge’s ruling that the government’s earlier funding freeze was unlawful.
- OCR Director Paula Stannard said the referral reflects OCR’s duty to safeguard taxpayer interests, while experts call debarment potential “total annihilation” of funding.
- If Harvard is unable to secure an appeal through the administrative hearing process, it risks losing federal funding permanently, including support for research and student financial aid, which would have serious consequences for the university and its students.
