Overnight (Monday to Tuesday), the U.S. Department of Education informed the university that all federal grants would be frozen until it complies with the administration\u2019s demands. According to the statement, the freeze includes research grants and other financial assistance totaling approximately $1 billion, which will remain suspended until Harvard\u2019s leadership \u201cdemonstrates responsible management,\u201d in the Department\u2019s words.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharp accusations against the university<br \/>\n<\/strong>In an official letter sent by Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to Harvard\u2019s administration, the Department leveled a series of sharp criticisms against the institution. The administration accused Harvard of fostering antisemitism on campus, maintaining race-based admissions and hiring policies, and having a notable lack of conservative faculty. \u201cThis letter is intended to clarify that Harvard is no longer eligible to request federal grants,\u201d wrote McMahon, implying the freeze could be indefinite.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22004\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22004\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22004 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-28-1024x684.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-28-1024x684.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-28-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-28-768x513.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-28-1536x1026.webp 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-28.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22004\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harvard University | Photo: Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Move may lead to revocation of tax-exempt status<br \/>\n<\/strong>The decision comes against the backdrop of escalating tensions between the administration and U.S. academic institutions, particularly amid pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campuses.
