Trump Administration Cuts $450 Million in Harvard Grants Amid Ongoing Feud Over Control and Bias

The Trump administration has cut another $450m in grants from Harvard University, escalating a row between the university and the White House over issues including anti-Semitism, presidential control, and academic freedom. The move is part of a series of contentious actions taken by the administration towards educational institutions, including the cancellation of a $1.8 billion grant to the University of California system. Harvard had been at odds with the Trump administration since 2019, when it revoked the institution's federal research funding over concerns about anti-Semitism on campus. The dispute has continued to escalate in recent months, with both sides trading barbs and warnings of potential further action.
