Trump cancels Harvard University funding over anti-Semitism allegations

US President Donald Trump has canceled $60 million in funding for Harvard University over anti-Semitism allegations. British news agency Reuters reported this information in a report on Tuesday (May 20).

The report said,

In addition, the Trump administration has canceled nearly $3 billion in grants and contracts from the Ivy League university in recent weeks.

According to Trump administration officials, the Harvard administration has failed to adequately respond to allegations of anti-Semitism. In addition, the university administration has been criticized for its tolerance of racial considerations and anti-Semitic discrimination in admissions decisions.

However, Harvard University has not responded to this issue. Earlier, it was said that the university would not be able to bear the full cost due to the suspension of funding.

It is worth noting that Harvard University settled a high-profile lawsuit filed by a hard-line Jewish student earlier this month.
