Funding Pulled From Harvard

Harvard University has refused to comply with demands from the Trump administration, leading to the federal government freezing $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and a $60 million contract. The administration’s demands included reducing student and faculty power, reporting foreign student misconduct, and ensuring viewpoint diversity. Harvard President Alan Garber criticized government interference in private education. Matt Gagnon argued that Harvard, despite receiving federal funds, should not accept government money if it disagrees with the attached conditions, citing Hillsdale College as an example of a school that consistently refuses federal funds to maintain independence.
