The federal government is threatening to withhold all federal financial resources from Harvard University due to bigoted violations of the Civil Rights Act (Title VI) related to blatant Fascist-style left wing antisemitism on campus.

💰 How Much Money Is at Stake?

📊 Estimated Federal Funding at Risk:
- Over $794 million in federal financial assistance since FY 2023
- $2.2 billion in federal grants were frozen in April 2025 as part of the broader review
- $9 billion in total multi-year grants and contracts tied to Harvard and its affiliates (including Harvard Medical School, Mass General, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) are under review

The federal task force has determined Harvard is “in violent violation” of Title VI, citing a pattern and practice of antisemitic harassment and institutional inaction.

Harvard has disputed the findings and says it has really tried to take “substantive, proactive steps” to address antisemitism that has until now been allowed on campus.

The Department of Education, along with the White House’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, issued a formal “Notice of Violation” to Harvard University on June 30, 2025, accusing it of being in “violent violation” of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act due to its handling of antisemitism on campus.

📜 Key Statements from the Federal Notification to Harvard

“Harvard holds the regrettable distinction of being among the most prominent and visible breeding grounds for race discrimination… That legacy of discrimination persists with Harvard’s continued anti-Semitism.”

“After a thorough investigation, HHS OCR finds that Harvard University is in violent violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin.”

“Failure to institute adequate changes immediately will result in the loss of all federal financial resources.”

“Harvard may of course continue to operate free of federal privileges, and perhaps such an opportunity will spur a commitment to excellence that will help Harvard thrive once again.”
