Reference Message Network reported on May 6 according to AFP's report on May 6 that the US Education Secretary said that Harvard University will no longer receive federal funding. This marks the escalation of the fight between the Trump administration and this prestigious university, which has challenged the funding cuts in court.
The report said that for weeks, the Trump administration has been at odds with Harvard University and other institutions of higher education, claiming that they have ignored anti-Semitism on campus and threatening them with budget cuts, tariff exemptions, and overseas recruitment.
The report said that US Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated in a letter posted online to Harvard University's president that "Harvard should no longer seek funding from the federal government because the federal government will not provide any funding." She claimed that Harvard University "has failed to comply with its legal obligations, moral obligations, integrity obligations, transparency responsibilities, and any semblance of academic rigor."
This is because Harvard University angered Trump by refusing to accept his demands and declining to allow the government to supervise its admissions, recruitment, and political inclinations.
This prompted the Trump administration to freeze $2.2 billion in federal funds and review approximately $9 billion in federal contracts and grants awarded to Harvard University in mid-April.
McMahon declared that her letter "marks the end of new funding for this university." (Translated by Wen Yi)
