The Trump administration is escalating its conflict with Harvard University by seeking to terminate $100 million in federal contracts. This follows previous efforts to freeze $2.7 billion in federal funds and hinder international enrollment at the university. Josh Gruenbaum, of the Federal Acquisition Service, has instructed agencies to evaluate their contracts with Harvard and consider alternative vendors. Gruenbaum's criticisms include accusations of racial discrimination in admissions and tolerance for student violence, citing a controversial fellowship awarded to a student charged in a violent incident. Harvard is contesting these funding cuts in court.
Harvard's actions in this case are a clear signal of tolerance for, if not outright endorsement of, student-on-student violence.
Gruenbaum accused Harvard of discriminating based on race in its admissions decisions along with other examples that he said revealed a troubling pattern.
