Trump Investigates Harvard's $260M in Funding
Briefly

Harvard University is being investigated by the Trump administration for potential mishandling of antisemitic harassment, part of a broader initiative by the Justice Department's Task Force against Anti-Semitism. The review will assess $260 million in federal grants and contracts to ensure compliance with civil rights regulations. This investigation mirrors ongoing scrutiny at Columbia University, where a similar review has resulted in significant sanctions and demands for immediate compliance. The initiative reinforces existing executive orders aimed at preventing anti-Semitic harassment in federally funded institutions.
This initiative strengthens enforcement of President Trump's Executive Order titled 'Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism,' which ensures that federally funded institutions uphold their legal and ethical responsibilities to prevent anti-Semitic harassment.
The task force’s investigation into Columbia has upended the institution, receiving a notification of a review into $54.1 million in federal contracts.
