Trump admin freezes more than $2.2 billion in funding to Harvard

"For the government to retreat from these partnerships now risks not only the health and well-being of millions of individuals but also the economic security and vitality of our nation," Harvard stated.

The federal Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism announced on Monday that it is freezing $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million worth of contracts to Harvard University, after the private Ivy League school said that it would not comply with the Trump administration’s demands.

“In recent weeks, the federal government has threatened its partnerships with several universities, including Harvard, over accusations of antisemitism on our campuses,” stated Alan Garber, the Harvard president, who is Jewish. “These partnerships are among the most productive and beneficial in American history.”

“New frontiers beckon us with the prospect of life-changing advances—from treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and diabetes, to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, quantum science and engineering and numerous other areas of possibility,” Garber said. “For the government to retreat from these partnerships now risks not only the health and well-being of millions of individuals but also the economic security and vitality of our nation.”

The Harvard president said that the government’s demands aim, in part, at curbing Jew-hatred, but “the majority represent direct governmental regulation of the ‘intellectual conditions’ at Harvard.” He called the requirements “unprecedented demands” and said that “the university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.”

The federal task force, which brings together several U.S. government agencies, stated on Monday that “Harvard’s statement today reinforces the troubling entitlement mindset that is endemic in our nation’s most prestigious universities and colleges—that federal investment does not come with the responsibility to uphold civil rights laws.”

Why should they take one penny from the government, which is actually taxpayer money

Good! I can't wait until all the Universities will be broke, then they will turn to "Arabs" countries for funds.

They are funded by Middle East Muslims, so why doesn’t Trump not only cut off 100% of any funding, but require them to relocate outside of the United States. We have NO need of them!! .

For too long now these institutions have strayed from the original fundamental core values of America. They have become polluted with ungodliness, atheism, and antisemitism. I hope they close down!

I thought Harvard, Princeton etc to be blights on American society since I was in high school in the late ‘50s/early ‘60s.

If these advancements are so critical shouldn’t they take precedent over the Jew hatred that is so prevalent at Harvard? Speaking from both sides of your mouth? Use your billions of endowments. 🇺🇸

Harvard is nothing but a name brand breeding ground for future terrorists. Thank you for no longer supporting them with UA taxpayer dollars!
