Trump Administration Threatens Harvard With Funding Cuts

News summary

The Trump administration has formally accused Harvard University of violating federal civil rights laws by failing to protect Jewish students, faculty, and staff from antisemitic harassment, with investigators alleging Harvard at times was a willful participant. Following a federal task force investigation, the administration has threatened to cut all federal funding—including research grants and student aid—unless Harvard implements significant reforms immediately. The government has already frozen over $2.6 billion in research funding and warned of further penalties. This has escalated the ongoing standoff between Harvard and the White House, amid criticism that the administration is leveraging antisemitism concerns to target progressive universities. Harvard has responded by updating policies and training but remains locked in legal and political conflict with federal authorities. The case underscores wider disputes over free speech, campus governance, and the federal government's oversight of higher education.
