Trump axes $2.2B in Harvard grants | Reporter Replay

The Trump administration has canceled $2.2 billion in grants to Harvard University amid an escalating legal battle over the Ivy League institution’s failure to crack down on antisemitism, according to a senior White House official.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) director for extramural research Michelle Bulls fired off a May 6 letter to Harvard president Alan Garber first informing him of the withdrawn funds, claiming the billions of dollars had not been used “to benefit the American people and improve their quality of life.” NY Post reporter Josh Christenson shares this story.
