Federal Agencies Review Harvard’s Funding Amid Protests and Allegations of Antisemitism
The U.S. Department of Education, alongside the Department of Health and Human Services and the General Services Administration, has initiated a comprehensive review of federal contracts and grants awarded to Harvard University. This move comes amidst heightened scrutiny over the university's handling of recent student protests and allegations of antisemitism on campus.
Recent reports from The New York Times and KOMO News indicate that the Trump administration is particularly focused on how top universities, including Harvard and Princeton, manage federal funding in light of these issues. The scrutiny intensified following student arrests during protests at Harvard, as reported by The Boston Globe, where demonstrators were vocal about various political and social issues.
The federal review aims to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used appropriately and that institutions comply with federal guidelines, especially in light of the ongoing conflicts in the Gaza Strip and allegations of supporting groups like Hamas. This situation has placed Harvard at the center of a national debate on the intersection of education, politics, and international relations.
