The Trump administration has issued demands to Harvard requiring compliance with specific policies to avoid a review that could jeopardize its $9 billion in federal funding. These demands, reminiscent of those previously enforced on Columbia University, include banning masks often used by pro-Palestinian students during protests, intensifying accountability measures for student groups, and ceasing race-based admissions practices. Additionally, Harvard must ensure cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security's enforcement of immigration policies, placing significant pressure on the university to adhere to these new requirements amid a broader movement against campus antisemitism.
