The federal government says it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s freezing more than $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts to Harvard University, since the institution said Monday it won바카라 게임 웹사이트�t comply with the Trump administration바카라 게임 웹사이트�s demands to limit activism on campus.In a letter to Harvard Friday, the administration called for broad government and leadership reforms, a requirement that Harvard institute what it calls 바카라 게임 웹사이트�merit-based바카라 게임 웹사이트� admissions and hiring policies as well as conduct an audit of the student body, faculty and leadership on their views about diversity.The demands, which are an update from an earlier letter, also call for a ban on face masks 바카라 게임 웹사이트� which appeared to target pro-Palestinian protesters. They also pressure the university to stop recognizing or funding "any student group or club that endorses or promotes criminal activity, illegal violence, or illegal harassment.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Harvard President Alan Garber, in a letter to the Harvard community Monday, said the demands violated the university's First Amendment rights and 바카라 게임 웹사이트�exceeds the statutory limits of the government바카라 게임 웹사이트�s authority under Title VI," which prohibits discrimination against students based on their race, color or national origin."Late Friday night, the administration issued an updated and expanded list of demands, warning that Harvard must comply if we intend to 'maintain (our) financial relationship with the federal government.' It makes clear that the intention is not to work with us to address antisemitism in a cooperative and constructive manner," Harvard President Alan M. Garber wrote in a letter. "No government -- regardless of which party is in power -- should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue," Garber wrote.

Harvard's demand letter is also similar to the one that prompted changes at Columbia University under the threat of billions of dollars in cuts.Withholding federal funding from Harvard, one of the nation's top research universities in science and medicine, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�risks not only the health and well-being of millions of individuals but also the economic security and vitality of our nation.바카라 게임 웹사이트� It also violates the university's First Amendment rights and exceeds the government's authority under Title VI, which prohibits discrimination against students based on their race, color or national origin, Garber said.The government's demands included that Harvard institute what it called 바카라 게임 웹사이트�merit-based바카라 게임 웹사이트� admissions and hiring policies and conduct an audit of the study body, faculty and leadership on their views about diversity. The administration also called for a ban on face masks at Harvard 바카라 게임 웹사이트� an apparent target of pro-Palestinian campus protesters 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and pressured the university to stop recognizing or funding 바카라 게임 웹사이트�any student group or club that endorses or promotes criminal activity, illegal violence, or illegal harassment.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Harvard's defiance, the federal antisemitism task force said Monday, "reinforces the troubling entitlement mindset that is endemic in our nation바카라 게임 웹사이트�s most prestigious universities and colleges 바카라 게임 웹사이트� that federal investment does not come with the responsibility to uphold civil rights laws.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The disruption of learning that has plagued campuses in recent years is unacceptable. The harassment of Jewish students is intolerable.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Trump has promised a more aggressive approach against antisemitism on campus, accusing former President Joe Biden of letting schools off the hook. Trump's administration has opened new investigations at colleges and detained and deported several foreign students with ties to pro-Palestinian protests.The demands from the Trump administration had prompted a group of Harvard alumni to write to university leaders calling for it to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�legally contest and refuse to comply with unlawful demands that threaten academic freedom and university self-governance.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�Harvard stood up today for the integrity, values, and freedoms that serve as the foundation of higher education,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Anurima Bhargava, one of the alumni behind the letter. "Harvard reminded the world that learning, innovation and transformative growth will not yield to bullying and authoritarian whims.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The government's pressure on Harvard also sparked a protest over the weekend from the campus community and residents of Cambridge and a lawsuit from the American Association of University Professors on Friday challenging the cuts.In their lawsuit, plaintiffs argue that the Trump administration has failed to follow steps required under Title VI before it starts cutting funds, including giving notice of the cuts to both the university and Congress.바카라 게임 웹사이트�These sweeping yet indeterminate demands are not remedies targeting the causes of any determination of noncompliance with federal law. Instead, they overtly seek to impose on Harvard University political views and policy preferences advanced by the Trump administration and commit the University to punishing disfavored speech,바카라 게임 웹사이트� plaintiffs wrote.The Associated Press contributed to this story.
