Trump administration seeks to pull up to $ 100 million in Harvard Financing

The Trump administration will force federal agencies to review their grants at Harvard University to potentially complete or redistribute financing as part of the White House Escalan with the oldest university in America.

Public Services (GSA) plans to distribute a letter to the agency “asking for any Harvard contracts and whether they can be canceled or redirected elsewhere,” said a high -ranking White House official.

According to the administration estimates, about 30 contracts, a collective amount of $ 100 million, may be for consideration.

Harvard University did not immediately respond to a comment request.

The White House will not withdraw the funds automatically, but rather the Harvard Review, which receives from the federal government to determine if it is – in the eyes of the administration – critically.

GSA recommends that each agency “stop for the convenience of each contract it does not meet its standards,” and consider redistribution of these funds for other organizations.

The draft letter accuses Harvard of discriminating and anti -Semitism as a justification for this step.

The administration official said the BBC that potential cuts would not affect Harvard University hospitals.

When a federal grant is considered critical for the functions of a particular agency, they said the agency could do the case for further funding.

The White House and Harvard were closed in a political, legal and financial battle, whose share has grown dramatically over the past two months.

Harvard sued the Trump administration, claiming that he violated the first amendments to the university as well as the federal law.
