By increasing a current clash between the administration of President Donald Trump and Harvard University, the Department of Education announced a pause of $ 8 billion about the financing of the Harvard subsidy.
“Harvard is not eligible for any new subsidy of the Federal Government until they demonstrate the responsible management of the university,” said a senior official of the Department of Education on Monday in a call with journalists.

The official said that the public trust in the university is at its lowest historical point, and that Harvard has not been able to combat anti -Semitism and discrimination on his campus.
He has also abandoned the rigor of academic excellence and has become a leftist institution that limits the “diversity of the point of view”, according to the official.
Pause includes medical research funds, according to the senior official.
The University is under federal investigation by several of the administration agencies, including the Department of Education and the Department of Human and Health Services. They are investigating the accusations ranging from failure to the dissemination of foreign gifts to discrimination based on the breed within the revision of Harvard’s law.
The administration has also launched a review of the broad -range anti -Semitism task group, which froze 2.2 billion dollars in funds for the institution last month.
For Harvard to return to compliance according to the Federal Law, the University would have to reach an agreement with the Administration, according to the senior official.
There was no advertisement on the university taxes, which Trump threatened to remove on May 2.
A Harvard spokesman told ABC News at that time that there is no “legal basis” to rescind the university taxes, saying that he would endanger the capacity of the school to carry out his mission.
