"The Trump administration has frozen between 2 1/2 and $3 billion in Harvard grants and contracts, and President Trump intends to cancel any remaining financial contracts. The administration is also trying to stop the university's ability to enroll foreign students and to end Harvard's tax exempt status. Harvard is facing about eight investigations from at least six agencies, including the Justice Department, the Department of Education, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. In response, Harvard is suing the Trump administration. This all began with a task force commissioned by President Trump to investigate if Harvard was doing enough to combat antisemitism on campus. During the on-campus protests against Israel's bombing of Gaza last year, some of the protesters and some of the slogans chanted were accused of being antisemitic, and many Jewish students said they felt unsafe."
