Trump blocks Harvard's financing until it meets the President's claims | Trump Administration

The US Education Ministry informed Harvard University on Monday that there were billions of US dollars in research grants and other help, unless the school has a list of the Trump administration's demands that the government would effectively control the oldest and richest university in the country.

The message was to Dr. Alan Garber, Harvard's President, in a deep partisan letter by Linda McMahon, the education secretary, who she also publishes on social media, delivered to Linda McMahon.

“This letter should inform you that Harvard should no longer obtain grants from the federal government because nobody is made available,” wrote McMahon.

The main reason for the procedure against Harvard is the rejection of a long list of claims by the anti-Semitism-Taskforce of the Trump government, which was triggered by protests on campus against the brutal military campaign of Israel in Gaza in Gaza. After the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, McMahon also accused the university that a systematic pattern has violated federal law.

As Garber explained in a message to the Harvard community last month, the university decided to sue the Federal Government after the Trump administration had earned $ 2.2 billion in the financing, additional USD threatened to investigate Harvard's operations, threatened the upbringing of international students and announced that the explanation of Harvards 501 around 501.01.

The “comprehensive and intrusive requirements of the government would impose the unprecedented and improper control over the university,” Garber wrote.

In his complaint against the Trump administration, Harvard said that the government's funding cuts had “real consequences for patients, students, faculties and employees [and] Researchers ”by ending the decisive medical and scientific research.

The text by McMahon's letter, similar to a social post by Donald Trump, is littered with all-caps words. “Where do many of these” students “come from, who are they from, how do they come to Harvard or even to our country – and why is there so much hatred?”

“Harvard university mocked the university system of this country. It has invited foreign students who initiate violent behavior and despise the United States from America on campus,” McMahon claims.

The university recently published its own in-depth investigation of the allegations that the solidarity protests in the Gaza had exceeded the line to anti-Semitism, and a second that dealt with anti-Muslim, anti-arab and anti-Palestinian prejudices.

But McMahon's Letter is not Mainly About the Claim that Jewish Studets Feel Unsafe at Harvard – A View the School's President, Who is Himelfe Jewish, Has some Sympathy With – but is Filled with Extended Diatribes About A Series of Other Grievances, Including: The Supposed Far-Left Politics of Penny Pritzker, A Member of the University's Governing Board Who Previously Served as Us Commerce Secretary During the Obama Administration; the complaints of the Harvard -Alumnus and the Trump supporter Bill Ackman; What McMahon calls the “ugly racism” of Harvard's efforts to diversify his student body; Complaints about what Fox News described as a “remedialathematics”, which, according to the Covid pandemic, is supposed to address gaps in the mathematical skills of the new students. White authors have discriminated against allegations that Harvard Law Review was discriminated against. And two short scholars The Harvard Th Chan School of Public Health, which was offered to the former mayors of New York and Chicago, Bill de Blasio and Lori Lightfoot.

In the language that Donald Trump apparently repeated his own, McMahon said to Harvard's president that de Blasio and Lightfoot, who was recruited to share their experiences with the provision of universal pre -kindergarten, and Chicago through pandemic, “perhaps the worst mayor who ever lead it through the Major Cities in the history of the country.

“This is like the hiring of the Titanic captain to teach navigation,” wrote McMahon.

“Harvard will stop being a publicly financed institution, and instead can work as a privately financed institution that relies on her colossal foundation and collects money from his large basis of wealthy alumni,” wrote McMahon. “You have about 53 billion US dollars.”
