There is now a rift between the Trump administration and Harvard University in America. On Monday, Harvard became the first university in America to openly defy the Trump administration regarding its independence. The university’s lawyers wrote a letter to the government on Monday, stating, “The university will not give up its independence or renounce its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government.”
The Trump government of America says that it is stopping grants worth more than $ 2.2 billion and contracts worth $ 60 million to Harvard. Let us tell you that stopping the funding of the university is the seventh time that the Trump administration has taken such a strict step on Harvard, one of the most elite colleges in the country, in an attempt to force compliance with the political agenda. Six out of seven schools are in this Ivy League.
Harvard not ready to bow down to Trump
Donald Trump has stopped the federal funding to Harvard University a few days ago and has talked about imposing external political supervision on all activities taking place in the university. Giving the reasoning behind this, President Trump has claimed that the university campuses have become camps of anti-Semitism and if they are not stopped then there can be trouble. The Trump government had threatened that the university’s budget will be cut, its tax-free status will be abolished and the admission of foreign students will also be at risk. But in the face of these threats of Trump, Harvard has also adopted a tough stand and has refused to bow down to the government’s decision.
