Harvard University is facing a major funding cutoff from the Trump administration due to allegations of failing to address anti-Semitism on campus. US Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced that Harvard will not receive any federal grants, asserting that the university has disrespected higher education standards. This decision follows a prior freeze of nearly $2.3 billion in federal funding after Harvard rejected demands for government oversight that the university deemed excessive. McMahon's letter expressed conservative grievances with the institution and questioned its admission policies, particularly regarding foreign students.
The move comes after the Trump administration last month froze nearly $2.3bn in federal funding to Harvard over what it claimed was its failure to tackle rampant anti-Semitism on campus.
In her letter, McMahon outlined a series of grievances often made by conservatives against the university, including that it had fostered lax academic standards and admitted foreign students who engage in violent behaviour.
