Harvard risks losing grants amid Department of Education investigation of antisemitism

The Ministry of Education recently announced a “comprehensive review” of federal contracts and government -funded scholarships at Harvard University, which is part of the investigation to eliminate anti -Semitism in universities.

Efforts are launched, on behalf of the joint work squad, to combat anti -Semitism, according to the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services (HHS) and the American Public Services Department (GSA). Its primary goal is to “eliminate[e] Anti -Semitism [sic] Harassment on the campus of universities, “which spread in the midst of the Israel War-Hasmas and the protests supporting the Palestinians in universities.

In a press release on Monday, the Ministry of Education said that more than $ 255.6 million in contracts between Harvard University will be reviewed by its subsidiaries and the federal government, in addition to nearly 9 billion dollars of scholarships.

“The review also includes more than $ 8.7 billion in multi -year grant obligations for Harvard University and its subsidiaries to ensure the university’s compliance with federal regulations, including civil rights responsibilities,” the agency described.

“Any institution found in violation of federal compliance standards may face administrative procedures, including termination of the contract.”

In a statement, the Minister of Education, Linda McMahon, said that Harvard’s reputation is “in serious danger” due to the spread of anti -Semitism on the campus.

“Harvard University has served as a symbol of the American dream of generations – the ambition of the summit for students all over the world to work hard and gain admission to the Foundation Foundation,” read McMahon’s statement. Harvard failed to protect students on the campus from anti -Semitism [sic] Discrimination – all of this with the strengthening of dividing ideologies on free investigation – has put his reputation in a serious danger. “

“Harvard University can correct these errors and restore itself to a university campus for academic excellence and search for the truth, as all students feel safe on the campus.”

In a statement on Monday evening, the President of Harvard University, Alan M. Garbar for news and describing anti -Semitism as “one of the most treacherous forms of intolerance” and insisted that if the financing stops, he will stop the savior of life, important scientific research and innovation. “

Harvard official said: “I faced the anti -Semitism directly, even while working as a president, and I know how harmful to the student who came to learn and make friendships in a college or university,” said Harvard official.

“Over the past fifteen months, we have made a great effort to address anti -Semitism … We will continue to fight anti -Semitism and enhance the culture of campus that includes and supports every member of our society.”

The last step comes nearly a month after the Trump administration announced that it will catch more than $ 400 million in the University of Colombia’s federal scholarships.

McMahon said at that time: “Since October 7, Jewish students have faced uncomfortable violence, eagerness, and anti -Semitic harassment on their campus – only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them,” McMahon said at that time. “Universities must comply with all federal anti -discrimination laws if they will receive federal financing.”
