Constitutional Debate Escalates Over Harvard as Trump Freezes $2.2 Billion in Government Funding

Crossroads with Joshua Philipp

Harvard University could lose about $2.2 billion in grants and tens of millions of dollars in contracts.

The federal government is now freezing the university’s funds, after its heads refused to follow policies that would get rid of diversity programs and put some restrictions on student protests regarded as anti-Semitic.

Harvard argues that this is about protecting constitutional rights, while the Trump administration says it’s about upholding civil rights laws.
