Trump admin seeks to cut remaining federal ties with Harvard—
The US government intends to cancel all remaining financial contracts with Harvard, a senior official said Tuesday, in President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to force the prestigious university to submit to unprecedented oversight.
The administration “will send a letter to federal agencies today asking them to identify any contracts with Harvard, and whether they can be canceled or redirected elsewhere,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The ending of contracts — estimated by US media to be worth $100 million — would mark the severance of business ties between the government and an institution that is both the country’s oldest university and a global research powerhouse.
