Harvard Left To Sink Or Swim Without Public Dollars

Trump Bars Entry Of Foreign Nationals Seeking To Attend Harvard

Harvard University

In a decision that marks a dramatic turn in a high-stakes showdown between Washington and one of the nation’s most powerful institutions, the Trump administration has pulled the plug on public research funding to Harvard University.

In a scathing letter to Harvard, US Education Department Secretary, Linda McMahon said that the elite university had made a “mockery” of higher education and should no longer seek federal grants, “since none will be provided.”

McMahon accused Harvard of failing to meet its legal, ethical, and fiduciary responsibilities, and criticised the institution’s transparency, academic integrity, and handling of campus antisemitism.

“Harvard will cease to be a publicly funded institution, and can instead operate as a privately-funded institution, drawing on its colossal endowment, and raising money from its large base of wealthy alumni.”

Linda McMahon

The move comes after the Trump administration last month froze nearly $2.3bn in federal funding to Harvard over what it claimed was its failure to tackle rampant anti-Semitism on campus.

The administration announced the freeze after Harvard rejected a series of demands that it said would subject the university to undue government control, including that it accede to external audits of faculty and students to ensure “viewpoint diversity”.

In her letter, McMahon outlined a series of grievances often made by conservatives against the university, including that it had fostered lax academic standards and admitted foreign students who “engage in violent behaviour and show contempt toward the United States of America.”

“Where do many of these ‘students’ come from, who are they, and how do they get into Harvard, or even into our country – and why is there so much HATE?

“These are questions that must be answered, among many more, but the biggest question of all is, why will Harvard not give straightforward answers to the American public?”

Linda McMahon

McMahon said that the university must address concerns about anti-Semitism on campus, school policies that consider a student’s race, and complaints from the administration the university has abandoned its pursuit of “academic excellence” while employing relatively few conservative faculty members.

Move To Create Chilling Implications

Protesters earlier this month at Harvard called on the university to resist interference by the federal government.

In an official statement posted on its website, Harvard, which is fighting the Trump administration’s earlier funding freeze in court, said in a statement that McMahon’s latest demands would have “chilling implications for higher education.”

The university asserted that the letter makes new threats to illegally withhold funding for lifesaving research and innovation in retaliation against Harvard for filing its lawsuit on April 21, 2025.

“Harvard will continue to comply with the law, promote and encourage respect for viewpoint diversity, and combat antisemitism in our community. Harvard will also continue to defend against illegal government overreach aimed at stifling research and innovation that make Americans safer and more secure.”

Harvard University

US universities have faced controversy over alleged anti-Semitism on their campuses since the eruption last year of nationwide student protests against Israel’s war in Gaza.

Harvard has become a focal point in broader political battles over campus speech, diversity initiatives, and university responses to antisemitism.

In its lawsuit against the Trump administration, Harvard said the government’s funding cuts will have stark “real-life consequences for patients, students, faculty, staff, (and) researchers” while putting in jeopardy crucial medical and scientific research.

In recent months, the Trump administration has threatened to cut funding, revoke tax-exempt status, and restrict foreign student enrollment at universities it accuses of ideological bias.

Trump and prominent conservatives in the US have also long accused Harvard and other universities of propagating extreme left-wing views and stifling right-wing perspectives.

In this fight, money talks—and losing federal dollars sends a loud message.

Whether Harvard sinks or swims may set the tone for how far future administrations are willing to go in shaping the nation’s academic landscape.
