Trump administration freezes $2.2 billion in funds after Harvard defies demands
ai generated text
The Trump administration has frozen $2.2 billion in federal grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard University due to the university's refusal to comply with a series of policy changes proposed by the US President. These policy changes, which are intended to crack down on campus anti-Semitism, include requirements for merit-based admissions and hiring policies, as well as the implementation of broad government and leadership reforms.
Harvard's statement today reinforces the troubling entitlement mindset that is endemic in our nation's most prestigious universities and colleges.
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions – rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let's hope other institutions follow suit.
NO MORE FUNDING FOR NPR, A TOTAL SCAM! THEY ARE A LIBERAL DISINFORMATION MACHINE. NOT ONE DOLLAR!!!
We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement.
The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.
It makes clear that the intention is not to work with us to address antisemitism in a cooperative and constructive manner.
He is violating the First Amendment rights of universities and faculty.
