The Trump administration is escalating its feud with Harvard University by moving to terminate federal contracts, affecting the school’s funding and research operations. A directive from the U.S. General Services Administration requires federal agencies to list contracts for cancellation, which could severely impact Harvard’s research capabilities. With almost 46% of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's budget sourced from federal funds, officials warn about the serious consequences, including risks to public health. Furthermore, international students feel targeted by the administration's policies, raising uncertainties about their future at the university.
By June 6, federal agencies must respond with a list of contract cancellations. Any contracts for critical services won't be immediately canceled.
The freeze would have 'a major impact' on their ability to conduct research - and could throw lives in jeopardy.
International students at Harvard feel they're being 'scapegoated and targeted' by the administration in the wake of Trump's attempt to bar them.
Our partnership with the federal government has powered discoveries and solutions that have saved tens of millions of lives around the world.
