The Trump administration will cancel the final $100 million in federal contracts with Harvard University, part of a sweeping effort to pressure elite universities over campus culture and alleged discrimination, according to a letter obtained by Axios.
The U.S. General Services Administration has instructed federal agencies to “find alternative vendors” for services previously contracted with Harvard, including DHS executive training, health research, and graduate student services. Agencies must report canceled contracts by June 6. Critical services will be reassigned.
The GSA cited suspected racial discrimination in hiring and promotions, and referenced incidents of antisemitism on campus, stating Harvard lacks concern for Jewish student safety.
The action comes after more than $2.2 billion in funding was already revoked and new grants frozen. Harvard President Alan Garber has accused the administration of unlawfully targeting the university, stating, “They don’t like what we represent.”
Garber added, “Harvard is a very old institution… and as long as there has been a United States of America, Harvard has thought that its role is to serve the nation.”
