Trump Set To Cancel All Federal Funds Directed At Harvard University

The Trump istration plans to direct all federal agencies to explore options for terminating their contracts with Harvard University — estimated to be worth around $100 million — a senior istration official told NBC News on Tuesday.

The senior official stated that the General Services istration (GSA) would “send a letter to federal agencies today, asking them to identify any contracts with Harvard, and whether they can be canceled or redirected elsewhere”.

The New York Times first reported the development.

The proposed funding cuts represent the latest escalation in the ongoing clash between the Trump istration and the nation's oldest—and arguably most prestigious—university.

A copy of the letter obtained by NBC News directs federal agencies to submit a list of any contracts they have canceled with Harvard University to the GSA by June 6.

"Going forward, we also encourage your agency to seek alternative vendors for future services where you had previously considered Harvard," reads the letter, signed by John Gruenbaum, the commissioner of the GSA's Federal Acquisition Service.

Gruenbaum characterized the istration’s actions as a defense of civil rights, accusing Harvard of ignoring a Supreme Court decision that prohibits the use of race in issions decisions. He also cited the university’s “continued inaction” in addressing the harassment of Jewish students.

A separate istration official confirmed to NBC News that approximately 30 contracts are currently under review.

These include, according to the official, a $39,000 agreement for graduate student research , a $50,000 contract with the National Institutes of Health to study the effects of coffee consumption, and a $523,000 project focused on research into energy drinks.

A United States judge on Friday blocked the Trump istration from revoking Harvard University's ability to enrol foreign students.

In a complaint filed in Boston federal court earlier on Friday, Harvard called the revocation a "blatant violation" of the U.S. Constitution and other federal laws, and had an "immediate and devastating effect" on the university and more than 7,000 visa holders.

Good move. Havard is for indoctrination and not for scholarly excellence anymore. Trade schools should get the funding. Trump has never been wrong

Next time, you won't vote base on gender sentiment but competency.

A man who once led you with no positive things to point to, but failure and mal-stration, most especially during COVID 19.........voters still preferred such unstable character to lead them.


Enjoy your America first in panick mode and turbulence. The BREXIT of yesteryears, where has it taken Britain reach? How has that improved their economy than the remaining Euro?

He is owned by the z!0nsts if he doesn't do their bidding what the point. I wonder how a great country like America allow themselves to be controlled by external factors to the point when one of their politicians was saying even if the Capitol burn to the ground, their commitment to one certain external state will still be there. Then you'll wonder what Amer!c@ benefits from that entity. Absolute nothing.

This is similar to the coco bird who, by the way can't raise it chick, lays an egg in another birds nest which has that birds eggs. When the coco chick atches, it is wired to remove all competitions from the nest by pushing all other chicks or eggs out of the nest and making sure its the only one the bird care for. Yes, the bird care for the coco birds chick even to the point where the coco chick gets bigger than the bird itself. The bird in this instance is uncle S@m while the coco bird is that entity we all know

Always being on Truth social is Ur major achievement? Indeed, masses need to continue enjoy evil leaders.

I will advise you to go and read the entire story on BBC. In the words of HAVARD,... after all, such donations are not gifts, they are giving us for "researches" (these are the researches that are making AMERICA GREAT AND FIRST AMONG EQUAL, because, they are being used by COMPANIES, MEDICAL, TECHNOLOGY among others, to propel USA stronger and stronger, now, bastard has arrived the throne and ready to make the hardworking of his forefathers to go in vain.

NB. All these magnificent discoverery are not just coming to being free of charge, is as a result of financial commitments they are giving universities and research institutions, perhaps you think America is like Naija, where money given to them for research always enter pocket of professors and their concubines.

The wisest President
Let all institutions know this " you don't go against the state" no matter who you are
Harvard get such humongous fund from the state and want to claim independence, you go against federal law?
