This comes after it forced Columbia University to bow the knee on free speech policies by threatening to revoke $400 million.

    CNN — Three federal agencies are reviewing nearly $9 billion in contracts and grants between the government and Harvard University over the school’s response to antisemitism.

    The departments of Education; Health and Human Services; and the US General Services Administration announced Monday they are reviewing $8.7 billion in grants and more than $255 million worth of contracts between Harvard, its affiliates and the federal government, according to a news release.

    “Harvard has served as a symbol of the American Dream for generations – the pinnacle aspiration for students all over the world to work hard and earn admission to the storied institution,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement.

    “Harvard’s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic discrimination – all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry – has put its reputation in serious jeopardy. Harvard can right these wrongs and restore itself to a campus dedicated to academic excellence and truth-seeking, where all students feel safe on its campus.”

    The review is the latest effort of a federal task force to combat antisemitism on college campuses after a spate of high-profile incidents around the country in response to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

    Harvard President Alan Garber said if the funding were revoked, it would “halt life-saving research and imperil important scientific research and innovation.”

      I mean, Harvard may or may not be a prime example of this. But considering the ideas and so called morals and ethics being pushed onto young adults the last decade or so in universities in general, anyone over the age of 35 that’s seen this happening and doesn’t live on reddit, probably thinks this the right thing for the wrong reasons.
