The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has recently announced it will terminate $60 million in federal grants to Harvard University, citing the institution's failure to adequately address issues related to anti-Semitism and racial discrimination on campus. This decision is part of a broader conflict between Harvard and the Trump administration, which has already imposed a freeze on over $2.2 billion in federal funds. The HHS claims such funding should not support schools that do not protect civil rights, prompting Harvard to legally challenge these actions, alleging violations of the First Amendment and federal law.
The Trump administration has already frozen more than $2.2bn in federal grants to Harvard. This is a significant statement on the ongoing tensions regarding academic freedoms.
HHS is taking decisive action to uphold civil rights in higher education, noting that discrimination will not be tolerated and federal funds must support institutions that protect all students.
