In a dramatic escalation of tensions between the Trump administration and higher education institutions, President Donald Trump has frozen over $2 billion in federal funds and $60 million in contracts to Harvard University. The move comes after Harvard rejected a list of demands from the White House, which it claimed were designed to combat antisemitism on campus. These demands allegedly included changes to governance, hiring practices, and admissions. In a public letter, Harvard President Alan Garber condemned the administration’s actions, asserting that no government has the right to dictate academic freedom or interfere with private university operations.#trump #donaldtrump #harvard #fundingfreeze
