Harvard Faces $100 Million Cut in U.S. Contracts Amid Federal Crackdown

Massive Cuts Threaten Research and Training Programs

The Trump administration is moving to cancel approximately $100 million in government contracts with Harvard University, targeting around 30 agreements across nine of the university’s departments. These contracts include funding for scientific research and executive training programs.

Wider Crackdown on Ivy League Funding

This move follows an earlier action where the federal government canceled over $2.6 billion in research grants to Ivy League institutions. The administration cited non-compliance with newly imposed policy regulations as the reason for the sweeping cuts.

Federal Oversight and Elite Universities

The review and potential termination of Harvard’s contracts underscore growing tensions between elite academic institutions and increasing federal oversight. Observers suggest that this could reshape how federal funding supports higher education in the United States.
