HHS Cancels $60 Million in Harvard Grants in 3rd Round of Federal Funding Cuts

The latest cut brings the total amount of canceled or frozen federal funding at Harvard to more than $2.7 billion.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is terminating $60 million in federal grants to Harvard University, the latest escalation in the Trump administrationโ€™s efforts to pressure the Ivy League school into policy changes.

In a post on X on Monday, HHS said the decision to revoke multiple multi-year grants stems from the universityโ€™s โ€œcontinued failure to address anti-Semitic harassment and race discrimination.โ€

โ€œIn the Trump Administration, discrimination will not be tolerated on campus,โ€ the post reads. โ€œFederal funds must support institutions that protect all students.โ€

HHS responded to a request for comment by referring to a report by The Daily Caller, which stated that the cancellation was for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-related funding.

Harvard did not respond to a request for comment. Harvard President Alan Garber maintained that the university has โ€œdevoted considerable effortโ€ to address anti-Semitism on campus since the Hamas-led terror attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and Israelโ€™s response in Gaza, which triggered a wave of protests across the United States.

The HHS announcement follows two much larger cuts by the Trump administration and brings the total amount of canceled or frozen federal funding at Harvard to more than $2.7 billion over the past two months. The administration is also seeking to revoke Harvardโ€™s tax-exempt status.

The escalating tensions between Harvard and the Trump administration initially centered around campus anti-Semitism but have since broadened to include issues such as ideological bias and Harvardโ€™s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals, which the administration says run afoul of federal anti-discrimination laws.

In a letter dated April 11, the administration accused Harvard of failing โ€œto live up to both the intellectual and civil rights conditions that justify federal investment.โ€ The letter outlined sweeping demands, including shutting down all DEI offices, overhauling the international admissions process to screen out applicants deemed โ€œhostile to American valuesโ€ or โ€œsupportive of terrorism or anti-Semitism,โ€ and commissioning an external audit of faculty, students, and leadership to assess โ€œviewpoint diversity.โ€
