The Trump administration has confirmed in a new statement that, "We are out of business with Harvard."
Because of the presence of anti-Semitism on campus, and the way it handles student protests and censorship, the White House had asked the school, whose officials are sitting on some $53 billion in piles of endowment cash, to address those issues.
The school declined, and the Trump administration has responded by canceling $2.7 billion in federal contracts and grants, proposing a plan to remove the school's exemption from taxes as well as creating a tax for those endowment accounts, and canceling its permission to enroll foreign students, a plan temporarily suspended by a judge.
Now, the Washington Examiner reports the White House "is set to divert all remaining federal contracts away from Harvard University."
The report noted the General Services Administration has instructed federal agencies to review any contracts they hold with Harvard and end unnecessary contracts, while moving those that are needed to another school.
"Agencies have also been ordered not to consider Harvard for future contracts," the report said.
"We are out of business with Harvard, so look for other vendors for things you would have considered Harvard for," the report confirmed the official explained.
It was Josh Gruenbaum, GSA's commissioner of Federal Acquisition Service, who sent a letter detailing cuts of about another $100 million form the school.
"As fiduciaries to the taxpayer, the government has a duty to ensure that procurement dollars are directed to vendors and contractors to promote and champion principles of non-discrimination in the national interests," he wrote.
Instead of agreeing to address anti-Semitism on campus, the school sued to keep getting billions of dollars from taxpayers.
Also, the school now is under investigation by the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security.
President Donald Trump, in fact, has suggested that the $3 billion that Harvard had been getting from taxpayers instead go to trade schools.
Further, the newest decision letter confirms that Harvard has failed to comply with a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court in 2023.
"As relevant here, GSA understands that Harvard continues to engage in race discrimination, including in its admissions process and in other areas of student life. For applicants in the top academic decile, admissions rates varied significantly by race. In this decile, admissions rates were: 56% for African Americans; 31% for Hispanics, 15% for whites; 13% for Asians," Gruenbaum's letter explained.
"Harvard has shown no indication of reforming their admission process."
He also cited "Troubling revelations have come to light regarding Harvard and its affiliates' potential discriminatory hiring practices and possible violations of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Harvard is suspected of engaging in a pattern or practice of disparate treatment in hiring, promotion, compensation, and other personnel-related actions."
