Your guide to what Trump’s second term means for Washington, business, and the world

The Trump administration has taken a bold step by announcing its decision to block Harvard University from eligibility for new federal government research grants. This move is seen as an escalation of the ongoing attack on the prestigious university by the current administration.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon delivered the news to Harvard’s president, Alan Garber, in a scathing letter on Monday. McMahon accused the university of making a “mockery of this country’s higher education system” and declared that Harvard should no longer seek grants from the federal government. Instead, she suggested that Harvard should operate as a privately funded institution, tapping into its substantial endowment and seeking support from its affluent alumni base.

The decision to block Harvard from federal research grant eligibility is the latest in a series of actions taken by President Donald Trump against elite universities that he believes promote progressive ideologies and foster a culture of “wokeness” on campus. Last week, Trump threatened to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status and announced plans to withhold over $2.2 billion in federal funding from the university, leading Harvard to file a lawsuit against the administration.

This latest development comes on the heels of hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman’s criticism of Harvard for suing the government. Ackman suggested that Harvard should have acknowledged the validity of some of President Trump’s points regarding taxpayer money being a privilege, not a right. In her letter, McMahon also accused Harvard of failing to address antisemitism, tolerating discrimination, abandoning academic rigor, and lacking diversity of viewpoints on campus.

While some experts question the government’s authority to unilaterally cancel grant funding, the decision to block Harvard from receiving federal research grants will remain in place until the resolution of ongoing government investigations into the university. The senior department official overseeing the matter indicated that a resolution could be expedited if Harvard were to engage in broader negotiations with the administration.

The move to block Harvard from federal research grant eligibility sends a strong message to other universities and institutions about the consequences of not meeting government requirements. It remains to be seen how Harvard will respond to this latest blow from the Trump administration and how it will impact the university’s future research endeavors and academic pursuits.
