US terminates $60 million in Harvard grants over alleged antisemitism

  • On May 20, 2025, the U.S. Federal agency responsible for health and human services announced it would cut $60 million in grant funding to Harvard University due to alleged antisemitism.
  • This action follows a feud between Harvard and the Trump administration that began in March due to Harvard failing to address antisemitic harassment and race discrimination.
  • The administration had demanded Harvard overhaul its disciplinary system, eliminate some diversity initiatives, and accept external audits, which Harvard rejected as undue government control.
  • Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote in a letter that Harvard had made a 'mockery' of higher education and announced it would no longer receive public research funding.
  • As a result, Harvard will operate without federal funds but can rely on its large endowment and private donations, while the conflict raises questions about academic freedom limits.
