Trump Administration reduces an additional 450 million US dollars to Harvard grants

The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that in addition to the 2.2 billion US dollars, which had already been frozen last week, shortened over eight federal authorities by $ 450 million to Harvard University.

“Harvard university has repeatedly failed to face the penetrating racial discrimination and anti -Semitic harassment that plagued their campus,” said the joint task force to combat anti -Semitism in an explanation.

The Task Force named Harvard as a “breeding floor for virtue signals and discrimination”.

It is the latest financing hit for the elite university, which has been a goal of the Trump administration in the past few weeks. The Trump administration and Harvard were involved in a top-class legal dispute.

Harvard did not react immediately to the latest financing cuts. The university president Alan Garber previously submitted an explanation in which her constitutional rights defended after submitting a lawsuit against the administration to stop freezing the financial center.
