Trump admin moves to block Harvard from billions in federal research grants

The Trump administration announced on Monday that it has launched a new process for blocking Harvard University for Federal Schedules and their ability to conclude new federal contracts -another salva of Trump officials who continue to target the oldest and richest university in the country.

The Ministry of Health and Human Services informed Harvard President Alan Garber in a letter in which he initiated the debart process for the university – a step that does not entitle the school to receive money or to complete new federal contracts.

HHS civil servants quoted Anti -Semitism allegations against the university and what Trump argued, the school failure to keep recommendations of a Federal AntiSemitism Task Force at the beginning of this year must be kept.

The familiar refrain was at the center of a month-long right between Trump officials and Harvard lawyers who are trying to comply with a Federal Task Force recommendations at the beginning of this year.

Trump officers have argued that the school did not do enough to comply with the recommendations of the Task Force. Harvard countered that the effort corresponds to an unconstitutional “pressure campaign” of the administration in order to influence their academic programs and to influence control.

It is unclear how long the debut process will take, and according to the HHS office for civil rights, this efforts are often a short-term barrier time.

However, if it is successful, the efforts could threaten billions of dollars for Harvard in an already endangered time for the university.

If it is successful, the debut process could ultimately “Blacklist” Harvard if he does business with the government – including blocking its ability to accept billions in federal research funds and sign new contracts with federal authorities.

Continuation of court struggles could bring Harvard into an unnecessary position against Trump

In an 84-page summary judgment at the beginning of this month, US district judge Allison D. Burroughs rejected the claim of the Trump administration that she tried to remove Harvard of billions in federal financing due to anti -Semitism or the default of the university to keep the recommendations of a federal -anti -Semitism Force.

“A review of the administrative records makes it difficult to close anything other than the accused who used anti -Semitism as a fog wall for a targeted, ideologically motivated attack on the leading universities of this country,” said Burroughs in their decision.
