Trump administration freezes $2.2 billion in funds after Harvard defies demands

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.
