EXCLUSIVE: Trump HHS Yanks $60,000,000 In Federal Funding From Harvard

The Department of Health and Human Services has canceled another $60 million in grants to Harvard University in the latest strike by the Trump administration against the Ivy League school.

The termination of $60 million in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-related funding was relayed in a May 19 letter obtained by The 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation. Harvard has seen nearly $3 billion in federal grants and contracts frozen or canceled. The university sued the Trump administration on April 21, refusing to negotiate on a series of suggested reforms, including the dissolution of diversity, equity and inclusion, actions toward merit-based hiring, and disciplinary action against violent student groups.

The letter cites the findings of the Harvard Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias, which concluded in an April 2025 report that some instructors had “mainstreamed and normalized what many Jewish and Israeli students experience as antisemitism and anti-Israeli bias.”

“We are deeply concerned that these forms of bigotry are becoming increasingly normalized in academia, particularly within what seem to be highly politicized disciplines such as public health, medicine, and education,” the report states.
