Trump suggests US may not award further grants to Harvard for ‘really not behaving well’
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump suggests his government may stop giving grants to Harvard University, which has refused to concede to his demands regarding hiring, administration and speech regulation.
“And it looks like we are not going to be giving them any more grants, right Linda?” Trump says in remarks while referring to US Education Secretary Linda McMahon and without elaborating.
“A grant is at our discretion and they are really not behaving well. So it’s too bad.”
Harvard and the US Education Department do not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump’s remarks.
