Education Dept. Considering Cuts for California Universities While Making ‘Progress’ with Harvard and Columbia, McMahon Says
- The Trump administration has suspended more than $2.6 billion in federal research grants to Harvard University and is contemplating reductions in federal aid to public universities in California.
- This action follows concerns about universities' compliance with Title IX, especially regarding transgender women participating in women's sports, which Secretary McMahon labeled a clear violation.
- Harvard has initiated two legal actions in response to the federal funding reductions and the Department of Homeland Security’s move to cancel its authorization to enroll international students, while the administration reports ongoing progress in negotiations with the university.
- Secretary McMahon indicated that institutions of higher education that comply with U.S. laws can anticipate continued access to federal funding, highlighting the importance of enforcing Title IX and suggesting a possible expansion of accreditation evaluations.
- These developments place California universities at risk of losing hundreds of millions in federal aid, signaling a shift toward stricter federal oversight tied to policy compliance and legal challenges ahead.
