Harvard University has seen an alarming reduction in federal funding, with the Trump administration cutting approximately $3 billion in grants, including an additional $450 million recently. This drastic move has prompted the university to take measures such as allocating $250 million to sustain its research programs, while Harvard President Alan Garber announced a 25% pay cut in response to the budget crunch. The conflict stems from allegations of antisemitism, with Education Secretary Linda McMahon criticizing the university amid these tensions. As federal agencies continue to terminate grants, Harvard’s leadership insists that it will uphold its core principles despite escalating pressure from the administration.
