The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Monday it would be terminating $60 million in grants to Harvard, bringing the total amount of federal money taken away from the university under President Trump to near $3 billion.
“HHS is taking decisive action to uphold civil rights in higher education. Due to Harvard University’s continued failure to address anti-Semitic harassment and race discrimination, HHS is terminating multiple multi-year grant awards — totaling approximately $60 million over their full duration,” the department posted on X.
“In the Trump Administration, discrimination will not be tolerated on campus. Federal funds must support institutions that protect all students,” it added.
The Hill has reached out to Harvard for comment.
The latest funding cut is part of the Trump administration’s pressure campaign against Harvard after the nation’s richest and oldest university refused to cater to demands such as eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion and changing hiring and admissions policies.
Harvard President Alan Garber has stressed the university and the federal government have similar goals of stomping out antisemitism but that the school will not give up its independence.
Along with funding cuts, the Trump administration has opened up Title VI investigations into the school, threatened its tax-exempt status and ability to accept foreign students and is looking into Harvard’s foreign financial disclosures.
