"Donald Trump described Harvard University as a 'joke' that teaches 'hate and stupidity', declaring it should no longer receive federal funds. This follows Harvard's refusal to meet the administration's demands."
"The Trump administration has announced a freeze on more than $2 billion in grants to Harvard after the university resisted various controversial demands, including eliminating diversity programs."
Donald Trump declared Harvard University unworthy of federal funding, labeling it a 'joke' and alleging it promotes hate and stupidity. This statement follows Harvard's resistance to the Trump administration's significant demands as part of a federal review concerning allegations of antisemitism. The university stands firm, refusing to comply with requests to dismantle diversity programs and share sensitive admissions data. In retaliation, the administration froze over $2 billion in funding and threatened Harvard's tax-exempt status, igniting support from various Democratic officials and universities against the administration's actions.
