Trump Admin Seeks to Cut $100 Million in Federal Contracts With Harvard

There are 30 contracts worth about $100 million.

The Trump administration will request federal agencies to cut off their contracts with Harvard University in response to what it says is the schoolโ€™s handling of anti-Semitism and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

The administration has already canceled around $2.6 billion in federal grants after the university declined to accede to a list of government demands to change policies concerning DEI and anti-Semitism. The university has sued the administration, alleging the move violates the Constitutionโ€™s free speech protections.

There are 30 federal contracts worth about $100 million, according to the General Services Administration (GSA). A letter to the agencies is scheduled to be sent on May 27, a GSA spokesperson told The Epoch Times.

It is to โ€œdetermine which are non-critical and could be terminated for convenience, and which are critical and should be transitioned to another vendor,โ€ the spokesperson said.

The letter said that receiving federal funding is a privilege and not a right.

โ€œBeing a counterparty with the federal government comes with the deep responsibility and commitment to abide by all federal laws and ensure the safeguarding of taxpayer money. As fiduciaries to the taxpayer, the government has a duty to ensure that procurement dollars are directed to vendors and contractors who promote and champion principles of nondiscrimination and the national interest,โ€ Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of the GSAโ€™s Federal Acquisition Service, wrote in the letter.

On May 26, President Donald Trump said he is considering stripping $3 billion from Harvard.

โ€œI am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land. What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!โ€ he wrote on Truth Social.

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security announced that Harvard would no longer be allowed to accept foreign students. This action has been put on hold by the courts following legal action taken by the university.
