New York, United States:
Elite US University Harvard was killed in federal funding with a freeze of $ 2.2 billion in federal funding on Monday, which the White House said the White House said it was intended to tighten the anti -Jewish Jewishism.
The call for changes in its rule, work and changes in admission processes spreads on a list of April 3, which ordered the authorities to close diversity offices and cooperate with immigration officers for international students screening.
Harvard President Alan Garber vowed in a letter to convince the students and faculty to defy the government, stating that the school would not talk on its freedom or its constitutional rights. “
Trump’s Joint Task Force responded with a statement to combat the anti-Jew-protests, which announced a hold of $ 2.2 billion in multi-year grants, as well as a freeze at $ 60 million in government contracts.
“Harvard’s statement today confirms the spatial disturbing mindset in our country’s most prestigious universities and colleges – that the federal investment does not come with the responsibility of maintaining laws of civil rights,” said this.
“In recent years, the disintegration of learning to affect the complexes is unacceptable. The harassment of Jewish students is unbearable. It is time for elite universities to take the problem seriously and be committed to meaningful changes if they want to get taxpayers support.”
The premises across the country were shaken by the student protests against the Israeli war in Gaza, resulting in some violent clashes, which included police and supporting counter-costors.
Trump and other Republicans have accused activists of supporting Hamas, an American -nominated terrorist group, whose deadly attack against Israel on October 7, 2023 led to a struggle.
The Education Department announced in March that it had opened an investigation for alleged “anti -Jewish oppression and discrimination” in 60 colleges and universities.
In Garber’s letter, Harvard and his associates were placed by the administration by $ 9 billion in federal funding under review, their first demand.
On Friday, the government sent a more detailed list to Harvard demanding the “audit” of students and faculty ideas, which the university made public.
‘Jewish anti-Jews’
Harvard generated an operating surplus of $ 45 million on a revenue basis of $ 6.5 billion in the last financial year.
Garber said the school was “open to new information and different approaches” but it would not agree to the demands that “go beyond this or any administration’s legitimate rights.”
“Any government – whatever party is in power – should decide what private universities can teach, which they can accept and hire, and what studies and inquiries they can do,” Garber said.
Elease Stephanic of the apex Republican Congress, who was appreciated by Trump for aggressive inquiries by Trump last year for aggressive interrogation of universities, called for defense to Harvard, calling it “a symbol of moral and educational rot in higher education”.
The New York Firebrand, who was seen as one of the most vocal supporters of Israel’s Congress and American Jewish reasons, accused the university of tolerating “anti -extremism”.
Harvard’s response to the demands of the White House was contrary to the approach made by the University of Columbia, which was the previous year’s pro-Filistini protest.
The Trump administration cut the grant of $ 400 million to the private New York School by $ 400 million, alleging that the Jewish students were failing to protect them from harassment as the protesters ralled against the aggressive Israeli Gaza.
The school replied to improving student disciplinary processes and hiring 36 officers to improve its security team.
Along with the funding cuts, the immigration authorities have targeted two organizers of anti-Palestinian protests in Columbia: Mahmud Khalil, who is demanding deportation of the government, and Mohsin Mahdvi, who was arrested on Monday as he participated in an interview to become an American citizen.
