Harvard concedes to combat antisemitism after Trump threatens funding

Harvard University announced it would do more to target antisemitism after the Trump administration suggested billions in federal funding to the Ivy League institution could be pulled if it didn’t expand efforts to combat “hate.”

The Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, alongside the U.S. General Services Administration, revealed Monday that they would review federal funding to Harvard, including $8.7 billion in multiyear grant commitments. The review came as part of President Donald Trump’s joint task force to combat antisemitism, which has led investigations into the country’s leading colleges and universities over concerns they failed to respond sufficiently to antisemitism on campuses.
