President Trump Halts Financial Aid to Harvard

The United States government has decided to discontinue the financial assistance it had been providing to Harvard University. This decision comes after President Donald Trump moved to cut off approximately $2 billion in federal funding previously allocated to the institution. The move follows Harvard’s rejection of a proposal from the White House, which had outlined several changes the university would need to implement in order to maintain federal financial support.

The proposal reportedly included 10 key points, focusing on reforms in admissions procedures and administrative practices. However, Harvard declined to comply, stating that the government was attempting to exercise excessive control over its internal affairs. The university emphasized its commitment to autonomy and academic freedom.

As a result, Harvard has become the first major U.S. university to take a stand against such federal pressure. President Alan Garber reaffirmed this position through an official statement, noting that the university would not compromise its core policies under any form of external influence.
