Escalating Tensions Between Trump Administration and Harvard University

The Trump administration has significantly escalated its financial campaign against Harvard University, recently terminating an additional $450 million in grants, adding to the $2.2 billion already frozen. This latest move has brought the total funding cuts to nearly $3 billion, prompting Harvard to expand its legal complaint against the administration. The university maintains its stance on not compromising its core principles to meet federal demands despite the pressure. As the feud deepens, voices from both sides express concerns, with Democrats warning that this could be just the beginning of broader attacks on higher education institutions. Meanwhile, Harvard leaders foresee challenging times ahead as they navigate this conflict.
