Harvard University president Alan Garber sent a letter to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon requesting the ability to address campus issues like antisemitism and discrimination without federal oversight. The Trump administration responded by revoking additional grants from the school, citing alleged failures to protect Jewish students and continued use of affirmative action policies. Despite Garber's promise to address the issues, the administration cut an additional $450 million in federal grants, stating Harvard's non-compliance with civil rights laws. An internal investigation found that a significant number of Jewish students felt unsafe on campus, leading to the federal government's scrutiny of the university.
