Trump Cutting Yet Another $450 Million in Federal Funds From Harvard Over Antisemitic Campus Protests

Harvard is about to lose another massive amount of funding due to their ongoing issues with Jew hatred on campus. They have already lost a massive share of federal funds over this and could even lose their tax-exempt status as a result.

Instead of acknowledging this problem and admitting Trump is right, the school has decided to listen to idiots on the left who want them to go full anti-Trump resistance. It doesn’t matter how big their endowment is, this is a battle that they cannot win.

All they had to do was shut down the insane ‘free Palestine’ mob on campus, and they just couldn’t do it. Now it’s going to cost them. Again.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Trump Administration To Cut Additional $450 Million in Grants to Harvard, Citing Free Beacon Reports

The Trump administration will strip Harvard University of an additional $450 million in federal grants as it ramps up pressure on the Ivy League school over anti-Semitic campus protests, citing two recent Washington Free Beacon reports, one on racial discrimination at the Harvard Law Review and the other on a fellowship that the law review awarded to a student accused of accosting an Israeli classmate.

“Harvard University has repeatedly failed to confront the pervasive race discrimination and anti-Semitic harassment plaguing its campus,” the Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism wrote in a statement, noting that “Jewish students were subjected to pervasive insults, physical assault, and intimidation, with no meaningful response from Harvard’s leadership.”

“As a result, eight federal agencies across the government are announcing the termination of approximately $450 million in grants to Harvard, which is in addition to the $2.2 billion that was terminated last week,” the statement reads.

The Trump administration froze $2.2 billion in federal funding to Harvard in April after the university snubbed White House demands to take stronger action against campus anti-Semitism.

The people who run Harvard have allowed the school to be taken over by the radical left. It could ultimately destroy the school.

The image of the entire Ivy League has been tarnished by this poisonous ideology and they allowed it to happen. It’s shameful.
