Trump to yank all federal funds to Harvard over school''s mishandling of campus antisemitism

2025-05-28

And yesterday he shocked the entire world by shutting down State Department processing of all student visa applications, since that judge put a hold on shutting down Harvard’s access to the program. Harvard’s peers in the ed. biz are going to br ~~pissed~~ deeply unhappy with them.

[NYPOST] The Trump administration is planning to cancel all remaining federal contracts with Harvard University, a day after the president mused about taking billions in federal funding that had been awarded to the Ivy League school — which he branded ''very antisemitic'' — and giving it to trade schools.

The fresh cuts — believed to be worth roughly $100 million — were requested in a memo fired off to federal agencies early Tuesday, according to a copy obtained by The Post. The administration had already frozen an estimated $3.2 billion in contracts and grants with Harvard.

The letter, signed by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum, instructs the agencies to ''seek alternative vendors'' for services they were previously paying Harvard to complete.

#5 Harvard will also be hit by legislative changes assuming the HR 1 (OBBBill) passes. This increases the tax on income earned by endowments (currently there is a 1.4% tax on this and, in Harvard's case they would likely be paying about 10%).

#4 Replace Antisemitic with Anti-Black and there would not be any push back.

The same people who hate the Jews hate the rest of you as well, so it’s a useful proxy for identifying them.

Either way, racism is racism and not 1 penny (a nickel now) of taxpayer $$$$ should ever be given to any establishment, or institution that condones or supports any form of racism. Or allows groups that promote one color over another.
