Reference Message Network reported on May 28 that according to a report by Reuters on May 27, the Trump administration plans to terminate all remaining contracts between U.S. federal agencies and Harvard University at the federal level. The email sent by the General Services Administration required all federal agencies to review their contracts with Harvard University. These contracts may be terminated or transferred to other suppliers. An official estimated that the total value of these contracts is approximately $100 million.
Harvard University has not yet commented on this news.
As the oldest and most financially powerful university in the United States, Harvard University represents the latest move by the Republican government in the U.S. to undermine its financial stability and global status. Previously, Harvard University refused to significantly change its school policies as requested by the U.S. government.
The General Services Administration accused Harvard University of admission discrimination, pointing out that the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in 2023 had already ended affirmative action in higher education, negating Harvard University's practice of enhancing campus diversity by considering race in admissions.
This email written by Josh Greenbaum, director of the Federal Procurement Service Center of the General Services Administration, also criticized Harvard University for employment discrimination and failing to protect Jewish students from harassment.
A U.S. government official familiar with the matter told reporters that the General Services Administration sent this email to various federal agencies on the morning of May 27. The email required agencies to submit a list of contract cancellations by June 6 and stated that contracts involving essential services would be transferred to other suppliers. (Compiled/Master Liu)
