The common working group of Trump’s administration administration to fight anti -Semitism has announced that she freezes more than two billion dollars of perennial support and contracts Harvard University in MassachusettsAfter the president of the school published a statement stating that the school will not be in line with the requirements of administration regarding anti -Semitism.
“Today, Harvard’s statement enhances a worrying opinion of the rights that is endemic in the most prestigious universities and faculties of our country – that federal investment does not come with responsibility for supporting the Civil Rights Act,” said the working group. “The learning disorder that has scored campuses in recent years is unacceptable. The harassment of Jewish students is unbearable.
“It is time for elite universities seriously take the problem and commit significant changes if they want to continue receiving the support of taxpayers,” the statement continued. “The common working group for the fight against anti -Semitism announces freezing of $ 2.2 billion for many years of scholarships and $ 60 million of multi -year contractual value at Harvard University.”
The decision comes after Harvard University President Alan M. Garber said that the school would not be in line with the demands of Trump administration, despite the possibility for the IVy League school to lose federal funding.

In his letter, Garber said that the federal government threatened his partnership with several universities, including Harvard, for charges of anti -Semitism in their campuses.
He also noted that Trump’s administration has issued an updated and expanded list of requests, saying that if the school plans to maintain a financial relationship with the Federal Government, it must adhere to it.
“Clearly the intention is not to work with us to deal with anti -Semitism In a cooperative and constructive way, “Garber wrote.” We informed the administration through our legal advisor that we would not accept their proposed agreement. “

Ambassador Elise Stefanik, Rn.y., who graduated from Harvard in 2006, broke the response of the IVy League school, saying, “… Harvard University rightly earned its place as a role model for moral and academic rot in higher education.”
“Encouraged by the radical group, the far left of the faculty, the incompetent university leadership, the donations of foreign opponents and terrorists Pro Hamas, Harvard fully accepted and tolerated angry anti -Semitism that threatened the lives and physical security of Jewish students in Campus,” Stefanik said. “It is time to completely turn off the US taxpayers’ fully funding to this institution that failed to fulfill its founding motorcycle Veritas. Defund Harvard.”

“We all agree that anti -Semitism has no place in America and that he should fight in the workplace, classrooms and everywhere,” Healey said. “In accordance with the dangerous requirements of Trump’s administration, it would make us less and less safe.”
President Donald Trump He suspended federal funding for every Ivy League, except Penn and Dartmouth, due to an investigation of anti-Israeli protests that took place in their campuses since October 2023. A study of a dozen other universities also influenced investigation for the same reason.
