Washington (AP) – The administration of President Donald Trump lowers a day after the fall of the Ivy League school against the allegations of the government that it is a breeding site of liberalism and anti -Semitism.
In a letter to Harvard on Tuesday, a Task Force of the Federal Anti -Semitism said that Harvard would lose grants from eight federal authorities and 2.2 billion US dollars that were previously frozen by the Trump government.
The letter states that Harvard has become a “breeding site for virtue signaling and discrimination” and faces a “steep, mountainous struggle” to regain his legacy as a place of academic excellence.
“On Harvard’s campus there is a dark problem and by priorizing the appeasement before the accountability obligation, institutional leaders have forfeited the school’s claim to support the taxpayer,” the letter said.
It was signed by officials from the educational department, health and human services and the General Services Administration.
University officials did not immediately comment on the letter.
Harvard was confronted with escalating sanctions from the White House after he was open to the government’s first American university, which openly defies the government’s demands to limit propalestinic activism and end diversity, justice and inclusion practices.
Trump, a Republican, said he wanted Harvard to lose his tax -exhausted status, and the Ministry of Homeland Security has threatened to revoke the right to exhaust the school, foreign pupils.
Last week the educational department said Harvard was not given any modern federal grants until it fulfilled the government’s claims.
The Trump administration has asked Harvard to make broad changes to the leadership, to revise its admission guidelines and to examine their faculty and student body to ensure that the campus houses many points of view.
The requirements are part of a pressure campaign that aims for several other top -class universities. The administration has cut money at universities such as Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University to comply with compliance with Trump’s agenda.
Harvard suits to block the freezing of federal financing.
Harvard President Alan Garber denied the government’s allegations in a letter on Monday and said Harvard was impartial and took steps to eradicate anti -Semitism on campus. He insisted that Harvard corresponds to the law and the federal government sanctions a “illegal attempt to control fundamental aspects of the operations of our university”.
The government’s letter on Tuesday states that Harvard has repeatedly addressed no racial discrimination and anti -Semitism on campus. It quoted the decision of the Supreme Court in 2023, which Harvard used to employ the breed in the approval process together with a recent internal report at Harvard for detailed cases of anti -Semitic harassment.
