Trump cuts additional $450 million in Harvard grants

.

The Trump administration said on May 13 that eight federal agencies will terminate another $450 million in grants to Harvard University, on top of $2.2 billion in federal funding it cancelled last week.

An administration antisemitism task force cited what it described as a failure by the elite Cambridge, Massachusetts-based school to confront what it called "pervasive race discrimination and anti-Semitic harassment plaguing its campus."

"There is a dark problem on Harvard’s campus, and by prioritising appeasement over accountability, institutional leaders have forfeited the school's claim to taxpayer support," the task force said in a joint statement.

Harvard did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
