The department of health and human Services said on Monday that it was terminating $60 million in federal grants to Harvard University saying the Ivy League institution failed to address anti-semitic harassment and ethnic discrimination on campus.
US President Trump's administration has frozen or ended federal grants and contracts for the university worth nearly $3 billion in recent weeks.
Since taking office in Jan, the Republican president has sought to use federal research funding to overhaul US academia, which he says has been gripped by anti-American, Marxist and "radical left" ideologies. "Due to Harvard University's continued failure to address anti-semitic harassment and race discrimination, HHS is terminating multiple multi-year grant awards ... over their full duration," the health department said on X Monday.
