President Trump Officially TERMINATES Harvard’s $2.2 Billion In Federal Funding

Boom.

President Trump just officially terminated $2.2 billion in federal funding — paid for by taxpayers — to Harvard University.

On Tuesday, an official from the National Institutes of Health sent a letter to Harvard President Alan Garber informing him that the university would no longer receive research grants from the agency.

In addition, Education Secretary Linda McMahon recently sent Harvard a letter telling them not to apply for federal grants anymore, “since none will be provided.”

Here are the details:

Daily Mail has more details:

The Daily Mail exclusively obtained the letter from NIH to Harvard stating that taxpayer funds must be ‘carefully’ used to ‘benefit the American people and improve their quality of life.’

‘Your project does not satisfy these criteria,’ the letter to Garber continues.

The face value of the total grants terminated comes to $2.2 billion, a White House official confirmed.

‘President Trump means what he says,’ the official told the Daily Mail. ‘Harvard has a $53 billion endowment that they’re free to use.’

The letter from the Trump administration to the Massachusetts school confirms the  billions in NIH funding for the university will be canceled. Though the university may appeal the decision, according to the letter.

The letter specifically condemned the school for alleged race discrimination.

It also accuses the Ivy League of allowing anti-Semitism to fester on campus unabated, despite faculty awareness of the ‘widespread abuse of Jewish and Israeli students.’

‘As relevant to NIH’s policies, NIH understands that Harvard continues to engage in race discrimination including in its admissions process, and in other areas of student life, such as access to the Law Review at Harvard Law School,’ the letter continued.

‘Supporting research in such an environment is plainly inconsistent with NIH’s priorities.’

Keep in mind that Harvard is the wealthiest university in the world.

Why should even a cent of our tax dollars go to funding this university that has flat out refused to change its stance on anti-American, pro-terrorist ideologies?

Why were we EVER giving Harvard, a school with $50 billion dollars in their endowment, $2 billion of our tax dollars?!!!

What on earth were we doing???
