A senior Department of Education official explained that Harvard University has failed to combat antisemitism and discrimination on its campus.
Escalating an ongoing clash between President Donald Trump’s administration and Harvard University, the Department of Education announced an $8 billion pause on Harvard’s grant funding.
«Harvard is not eligible for any new grants from the federal government until they demonstrate responsible management of the university», a senior official from the Department of Education said on a call with reporters on Monday.
The official said public confidence in the university is at an all-time low — and that Harvard has failed to combat antisemitism and discrimination on its campus.
