The federal government says its freezing more than 2.2 billion in grants and 60 million in contracts to Harvard University, after the institution said it would defy the Trump administrations demands to limit activism on campus.
The hold on Harvards funding marks the seventh time President Donald Trumps administration has taken the step at one of the nations most elite colleges, in an attempt to force compliance with Trumps political agenda. Six of the seven schools are in the Ivy League.
In a letter to Harvard Friday, Trumps administration had called for broad government and leadership reforms at the university, as well as changes to its admissions policies. It also demanded the university audit views of diversity on campus, and stop recognizing some student clubs.
