Trump Targets Billions in Harvard Funding

“The Trump administration will scrutinize billions of dollars in federal funding to Harvard University,” the Washington Post reports.

“The Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism will review the more than $255 million in contracts between the federal government, Harvard and its affiliates. And it will also look at more than $8.7 billion in multiyear grant commitments to ensure the school is in compliance with federal regulations.”

Wall Street Journal: “The review follows the government’s cancellation earlier this month of $400 million in grants and contracts with Columbia University over similar concerns. Columbia agreed to meet the government’s demands as a precondition to negotiate for the return of the money… The government so far is reviewing, not canceling, the grants and contracts at Harvard. At Columbia, the money was canceled.”
