The Trump administration has announced a review of Harvard University’s federal contracts and grants over allegations of antisemitism. The review will assess over $255.6 million in contracts and over $8.7 billion in grant commitments. Harvard recently agreed to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which critics say could limit criticism of Israel.
This announcement follows the administration’s probe into Columbia University, where demands were met to avoid losing $400 million in federal funding. The Trump administration has issued commuted sentences and pardons relating to the January 6 Capitol insurrection and has announced sanctions against Chinese and Hong Kong officials.
The administration has also sent alleged gang members to El Salvador without providing identifying information, and Elon Musk’s allies have taken control of the US Institute of Peace, a congressionally-funded think tank targeted for closure. Additionally, the Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in various cases to push forward its policies.
The Trump administration’s actions have sparked controversy and concern, affecting institutions like Harvard as well as government processes and international relations. The review of Harvard’s federal contracts and grants is part of a broader strategy to address allegations of antisemitism and ensure compliance with federal standards.
