The Trump administration has mandated Harvard University take significant actions to stay eligible for $9 billion in federal funding by addressing antisemitism and campus conduct. In a letter addressed to Harvard's president, officials cited the university's failure to protect students from antisemitic incidents and called for the review of academic departments potentially contributing to these issues. This comes in the wake of heightened tensions regarding student protests against Israel following recent violence. Comparisons were drawn to Columbia University's funding cuts for similar noncompliance with federal mandates.
"The letter sent to Harvard President Alan Garber did not specify the departments at Harvard that need review and did not demand a change in leadership."
"Government officials set out the terms in a stern letter Thursday, which accused the Ivy League of 'fundamentally failing to protect American students and faculty from antisemitic violence and harassment.'"
