US federal antisemitism task force says it’s cutting another $450 million in grants to Harvard

The Trump administration’s Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism says the US government is cutting $450 million in grants to Harvard University, in addition to the $2.2 billion the government has already withdrawn.

“Harvard University has repeatedly failed to confront the pervasive race discrimination and anti-Semitic harassment plaguing its campus,” says a joint statement from the US Department of Education, the US Department of Health and Human Services, and the General Services Administration.

The statement cites recent reporting that said the Harvard Law Review considered race as a factor in its article application process, and awarded a $65,000 fellowship to a protester who allegedly assaulted a Jewish student. The story was first reported by The Washington Free Beacon.

“Harvard’s campus, once a symbol of academic prestige, has become a breeding ground for virtue signaling and discrimination. This is not leadership; it is cowardice,” the statement says.
