The U.S. government under President Donald Trump plans to cancel all remaining federal financial agreements with Harvard University, a move reportedly worth $100 million, according to webangah News Agency.
The General Services Administration (GSA), while openly supporting Israeli occupation forces, accused Harvard of “continuing racial discrimination” in its admissions process and other aspects of university life.
This action comes days after the Trump administration barred Harvard from enrolling international students. A federal judge in Boston later temporarily blocked this ban.
Trump had previously threatened to redirect portions of the university’s funding toward certain U.S. schools. Founded 389 years ago, Harvard stated in a federal court filing: “Harvard without international students is no longer Harvard.” Current enrollment data shows nearly 6,800 international students—27% of its total student body—attending this academic year.
The contract termination marks the latest escalation in an ongoing battle between Harvard and the White House, were Trump seeks to compel universities, law firms, media outlets, courts and other self-reliant institutions to align with his political agenda. The president and fellow Republicans have long accused elite universities of left-wing bias.
Harvard has repeatedly resisted Trump’s pressures. The institution previously sued to restore approximately $3 billion in blocked or canceled federal grants. Recent weeks saw the administration propose revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, demand higher taxes on its endowment funds, and launch civil rights violation investigations against the university.
A April 21 statement from harvard condemned these actions as unlawful governmental overreach: “The funding freeze constitutes unauthorized interference in institutional autonomy that could establish dangerous precedents for academic control.” Federal authorities have initiated multiple probes into university operations while threatening international students’ status—actions that jeopardize educational integrity.
The Trump administration demanded unrestricted access to all reports about alleged antisemitism and anti-Muslim bias at Harvard since October 2023.
