The Trump administration is cutting another $450 million in federal grants to Harvard University – on top of $2.2 billion already slashed – tightening even further its ideological pressure on America’s oldest and wealthiest university amid a broader battle over control of US college campuses.

President Donald Trump's administration is cutting another $450 million in grants to Harvard University a day after the Ivy League school pushed back against government allegations it’s a hotbed of liberalism and antisemitism.

A day after Harvard sent a letter disputing the government’s claims against it, federal officials announced the $450 million cut on Tuesday. Then Harvard amended its lawsuit.
