The Trump administration cancels $ 60 million in Harvard grant on campus antisemitism charges
The Trump administration decided to cancel Harvard University in federal grant to cancel $ 60 million, which cited inadequate response to incidents of insufficient harassment and ethnic discrimination of the institution.The Department of Health and Human Services said on Monday that they are abolishing several multi-year grant awards throughout their entire period.The Health Department said in a post on X, “HHS is taking decisive action to maintain civil rights in higher education. Due to continuous failure in addressing the anti-Jewish oppression and breed discrimination, HHS is ending several multi-year grant awards-collapsing about $ 60 million throughout the period.”“In the Trump administration, discrimination will not be tolerated in the campus. Federal funds should support institutions that protect all students,” he said.The Trump administration has recently suspended or abolished the federal grants and contracts for the university, which is approximately $ 3 billion.After the presidential post in January, Trump attempted to improve the US academics through federal research funding control, claiming that these institutions have been influenced by anti -American, Marxist and extreme leftist ideologies.The administration says that Harvard Students continue to consider ethnicity in applications reviews and failed to address discrimination against Jewish students during the Palestinian performances in American universities last year. Similarly, Columbia University in New York faced an investigation on alleged antismitism.The Cambridge -based university has indicated that it cannot manage without frozen grants and is assisting researchers in achieving alternative funding. The institution has initiated legal proceedings against the Trump administration regarding grant cuts.Harvard recently resolved a significant legal dispute with a conservative Jewish student, alleging that the university had ignored antisementary behavior in the campus. The agreement followed Harvard’s commitment to increase security for Jewish students, addressing two cases, which claimed extensive oppositionism in the institution.
