In a stmnt on Monday, the #Trump admin said it was examining ~$256M in contracts, as well as another $8.7B in what it described as “multiyear grant commitments.”
“While #Harvard’s recent actions to curb institutionalized *antisemitism*—though long overdue—are welcome, there is much more that the university must do to retain the privilege of receiving federal taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars,” Josh Gruenbaum, a snr ofcl at the #GSA, said.
“This administration has proven that we will take swift action to hold institutions accountable if they allow *antisemitism* to fester,” he added. “We will not hesitate to act if #Harvard fails to do so.”
