The Health Department has taken significant steps to prevent Harvard University from receiving future federal research grants, formally recommending barring the institution from federal funding. This development follows allegations related to antisemitism on campus, leading the Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to refer Harvard for suspension and debarment proceedings. The Trump administration has ramped up efforts to strip Harvard of federal funding, claiming a response to civil rights concerns and mounting scrutiny over the university’s treatment of antisemitism claims. Reports suggest that Harvard may face a major financial blow if the federal government moves forward with these restrictions, marking a severe escalation in the ongoing conflict between the university and the current administration.
