Trump Administration Reviews $9 Billion in Harvard Funding Over Antisemitism Allegations

Harvard faces scrutiny from federal agencies as part of a broader investigation into campus antisemitism following pro-Palestinian protests.

The Trump administration has launched a review of $9 billion in federal contracts and grants to Harvard University, citing alleged failures to address antisemitism on campus.
The review includes $255.6 million in contracts and $8.7 billion in multi-year grants, with no specific demands disclosed yet.
This follows similar action against Columbia University, where $400 million in funding was frozen until the university implemented policy changes.
Harvard President Alan Garber acknowledged institutional shortcomings and warned that halting federal funding could jeopardize critical research and innovation.
The investigation is part of a larger federal effort targeting 60 universities, raising debates over free speech, academic freedom, and federal oversight.
