The Trump administration may pull as much as $8 billion in federal funding from Harvard University as part of its review of higher education.
In a press release on Monday, the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services announced a “comprehensive review of federal contracts and grants at Harvard University and its affiliates” as part of its ongoing efforts of the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism.

The Task Force will examine over $255.6 million in federal contracts awarded to Harvard University and its affiliated institutions, as well as the over $8.7 billion in long-term federal grant commitments to Harvard and its affiliates.
The purpose of the review is to ensure that the university is fully adhering to federal regulations, including its obligations under civil rights law.
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon explained:
Harvard has served as a symbol of the American Dream for generations – the pinnacle aspiration for students all over the world to work hard and earn admission to the storied institution.
Harvard’s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic discrimination – all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry – has put its reputation in serious jeopardy.
Harvard can right these wrongs and restore itself to a campus dedicated to academic excellence and truth-seeking, where all students feel safe on its campus.
This development follows the Trump administration’s recent decision to withdraw over $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University, pressuring the institution to overhaul its disciplinary procedures and bring its Middle Eastern, African, and South Asian studies departments under tighter administrative oversight.
Columbia eventually complied with several of the government’s conditions, but the move triggered left-wing outcry and led to the sudden removal of the university’s interim president.
