The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has said it is terminating $60 million in federal grants to Harvard University, saying that the institution failed to address antisemitic harassment and race discrimination on campus.
“HHS is taking decisive action to uphold civil rights in higher education. Due to Harvard University’s continued failure to address antisemitic harassment and race discrimination, HHS is terminating multiple multi-year grant awards — totaling approximately $60 million over their full duration,” HHS said in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
“In the Trump Administration, discrimination will not be tolerated on campus. Federal funds must support institutions that protect all students.”
The Trump administration has already frozen or canceled federal grants and contracts for Harvard worth almost $3 billion in recent months.
