The Trump Administration is intensifying its pressure on Harvard University by announcing the cessation of new federal research grants. This move is a part of a broader campaign to reform higher education and penalize institutions resistant to the Administration's policies. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon advised Harvard to operate independently, relying on its significant endowment and wealthy alumni. The university is opposing this initiative through a lawsuit to protect its autonomy. Compared to Harvard, other universities like Columbia have complied with similar federal threats, leading to resumed funding.
Federal pressure on Harvard escalates as the Trump Administration blocks new federal research grants, forcing the university to consider operating purely on private funding.
Harvard's lawsuit against the Trump Administration illustrates the university's commitment to maintaining its independence and constitutional rights amid increased federal scrutiny.
