In response to federal funding threats from the Trump administration regarding allegations of antisemitism, Harvard and Princeton are issuing substantial bonds to bolster their finances. Harvard is set to raise $750 million while Princeton will issue $320 million in bonds. This action follows the government's review of grants exceeding $9 billion and funding freezes impacting multiple universities, including Columbia, which has faced over $650 million in cuts. The bond issuances serve not only as immediate cash infusions but also reflect broader financial strategies among universities facing ongoing scrutiny.
Harvard's bond issuance mirrors a broader trend among universities to secure alternative funding amid federal scrutiny and threats of funding cuts due to government policies.
Several universities, including Princeton, are issuing bonds to mitigate financial risks stemming from federal funding freezes, demonstrating resilience in challenging regulatory climates.
