Trump planning to pull $1 billion in Harvard research funds: report

President Donald Trump is making headlines once again for his ongoing battle with Harvard University. Reports have surfaced that the President is planning to pull an additional $1 billion in federal funding from the prestigious Ivy League school, specifically related to its health research funding.

This latest move comes on the heels of the White House’s request to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status due to allegations of antisemitism on campus. The Justice Department has also initiated a review of the school’s federal contracts and government-funded grants, while the Department of Homeland Security recently canceled $2.7 million in grants to the university.

President Trump has been vocal about his disdain for Harvard, claiming on social media that the institution has “lost its way” and does not deserve federal funding. He criticized Harvard for hiring individuals he referred to as “woke, Radical Left, idiots and ‘birdbrains’” who he believes are teaching “Hate and Stupidity” to students.

In response to these actions, Harvard students and faculty have expressed mixed opinions. Some, like classics major and campus Republican Carter Stewart, believe that Harvard is facing the consequences of promoting controversial ideas that do not align with the majority of Americans. Stewart views the funding cuts as a necessary wake-up call for the university.

On the other hand, Harvard professor of government Ryan Enos supports the school’s defiance against the federal government, arguing that private institutions should have the autonomy to handle their internal affairs without government interference. Enos emphasized the importance of protecting free speech and avoiding government overreach in academic matters.

Fox News Digital reached out to both the White House and Harvard for comments on the situation but has not received a response at the time of this report. The ongoing conflict between President Trump and Harvard continues to unfold, raising questions about the limits of government involvement in academic institutions.

As developments in this story continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how Harvard will navigate these challenges and whether the institution will be able to maintain its prestige and reputation in the face of mounting pressure from the Trump administration.
