In a significant escalation of tensions between the Trump administration and Harvard University, federal officials are preparing to cancel around $100 million in contracts with the institution. This move is part of a broader effort to challenge what the administration perceives as Harvard's liberal stance and refusal to comply with various policy demands, including providing access to foreign students' records. Previous federal funding cuts have already amounted to $2.65 billion, as Harvard maintains its independence and constitutional rights against the administration's pressure, which includes litigation related to funding freezes for federal grants.
