Trump administration finds Harvard failed to protect Jewish students, threatens to cut all funding

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 1 – The Trump administration found Harvard deliberately indifferent to antisemitic harassment, threatening to cut $9 billion in federal funding if changes are not made immediately, officials said.

  • The Trump administration withheld nearly $6.8 billion in federal K-12 education funding scheduled for distribution on July 1, affecting states and school districts nationwide.
  • This holdback reflects the administration advancing fiscal 2026 budget priorities a year early, despite Congress approving and signing the funds into law in March 2023.
  • The withheld funds cover programs including migrant education, professional development, English-learner services, and after-school programs, which account for over 10% of K-12 federal spending in at least 33 states.
  • State and education leaders warned withholding these funds pushes unfunded mandates and legal experts note federal law typically forbids unilateral executive withholding of appropriated funds.
  • If Congress does not consent to the rescission request promptly, the administration must release the allocated funds as scheduled, but the current delay underscores continuing disagreements over federal education funding priorities and their effects on school districts.
