US Education Department Secretary Linda McMahon halts funding in escalation of dispute centred around anti-Semitism claims.
US Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced that Harvard University will no longer receive federal funding, intensifying a dispute over alleged anti-Semitism on campus. This decision follows a funding freeze of nearly $2.3 billion after Harvard rejected demands for external audits to ensure viewpoint diversity. Harvard, which is contesting the funding freeze in court, criticized McMahon’s actions as threats to higher education and reiterated its commitment to diversity and combating anti-Semitism.
