JUST IN: President Trump Deals Harvard Yet Another Massive Blow

[Conservative Angle]

​

Woke policies and rampant antisemitism on campus have contributed to the repetitional damage of Harvard University in recent years.

But President Donald Trump has taken decisive action against the Ivy League school since returning to the White House in January.

After already cutting more than $2 billion in grants, the Trump administration announced another move on Tuesday.

According to the New York Post:

The Trump administration announced Tuesday it was canceling another $450 million in grants to Harvard University after the Ivy League school “repeatedly failed” to quell race discrimination and antisemitism on campus.

“There is a dark problem on Harvard’s campus, and by prioritizing appeasement over accountability, institutional leaders have forfeited the school’s claim to taxpayer support,” members of Trump’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism said in a statement.

“Harvard, and its leadership group who are tainted by the egregious infractions under its watch, faces a steep, uphill battle to reclaim its legacy as a lawful institution and center of academic excellence.”

The president’s effort to rein in Harvard’s objectionable behavior has fueled significant social media discussion:

ANOTHER $450 MILLION IN FEDERAL GRANTS CUT FROM HARVARD.

President Trump is holding anti-American, antisemitic universities accountable. If they refuse to follow federal law, they won’t be funded by U.S. taxpayers.

Promise Made. Promise kept.

As the Harvard Gazette reported about a month ago, the university flatly refused to comply with the Trump administration’s demands:

“The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights,” Harvard President Alan Garber wrote in a message to the community. He added: “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.”

Garber’s message was a response to a letter sent late Friday by the Trump administration outlining demands that Harvard would have to satisfy to maintain its funding relationship with the federal government. These demands include “audits” of academic programs and departments, along with the viewpoints of students, faculty, and staff, and changes to the University’s governance structure and hiring practices.

The $9 billion under review by the government includes $256 million in research support for Harvard plus $8.7 billion in future commitments to the University and several renowned hospitals, among them Mass General, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Boston Children’s. Late Monday, the Trump administration announced that it was moving to freeze $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard.

Here’s what billionaire investor Bill Ackman had to say about claims that the rescinded grants will negatively impact Harvard’s research:
