The Trump administration presented new steps to dismiss the federal financing of Harvard University and announced on Monday to reduce all new federal research grants. The step was the recent efforts of the administration to demand political changes to the elite university, since academic freedom, federal financing and supervision on campus require a great connection with academic freedom, federal and supervision on campus.

The Minister of Education Linda McMahon is expected to send a letter to Harvard President Alan Garber on Monday evening, in which “Harvard is not entitled to new subsidies from the federal government if you prove responsibility at the university,” said a high -ranking administrative officer.

It is expected that McMahon argues that Harvard's “terrible behavior” harms the public's confidence in university formation, said the civil servant and will point out what the civil servant as a “serious failure” in relation to anti -Semitism, “persistent discrimination”, “task of strict and academic excellence” and poor “vision of variety”.

According to the official, the move will be targeted specifically for the financing of research grants and at that time no Federal Pell grants or student loan financing, and it is estimated that they are influenced “over 1 billion US dollars a year”. The Trump government has already frozen a federal funding of $ 2.2 billion.

The Trump administration is ready to negotiate with Harvard to restore financing, according to the official as soon as it “((((in a negotiation) with the government) with the government) to meet the government that it corresponds to all federal laws”.

CNN's official on the specific benchmarks for which the administration is sought stated that there could be a way to fast a resolution, since Harvard remains under a number of investigations by the Federal Government.

“These investigations would have to lead to solving agreements that Harvard bring back into compliance with the Federal Law. You could also open a broader trial if you were interested in accelerating this,” said the official.

The Trump administration has promised to revoke the university's tax-exhausted status and threatened its ability to accommodate international students if it does not differ if it is not a long list of demands, including the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion programs, the ban on masks on campus protests, the reasons for changes and changes in masks and changes Foreign discussions.

Harvard, the oldest and richest university in the country, has sued the release of Federal Research Finance. CNN contacted the university on Monday about the latest move of the White House.

Harvard “will not hand over his independence or give up his constitutional rights,” said his president. “Neither Harvard nor another private university can be taken over by the federal government.”
