Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Revokes $2.7 Million in Gov. Subsidies to Harvard University

Citing national security concerns and Harvard University's inability to address what she described as "anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology" on campus, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday that two DHS funds to the university will be canceled.

Citing Harvard University's purported acceptance of pro-Hamas extremism and anti-American ideology on campus, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has revoked more than $2.7 million in government subsidies to the university. Two DHS awards totaling more than $2.7 million were revoked by Noem. Harvard is charged with supporting extremist and antisemitic activities. The Trump administration is investigating the school's nonprofit tax status and has frozen $2.2 billion in multiyear federal subsidies.

The ruling revokes federal payments totaling $2.7 million. 

One of the funds totaling $800,303 allegedly funded research that labeled conservatives as "far-right dissidents." DHS characterized the second, which came to $1,934,902, as funding "public health propaganda." The two programs "undermine America's values and security," according to the department's news statement.

According to the DHS, "Noem's action is a clear signal from the Trump administration: institutions that receive taxpayer funding must uphold American principles, not foster animosity toward them." Noem also requested documents from Harvard in a different letter that listed any foreign students with visas who had engaged in "illegal and violent activities." Her candid assessment of Harvard's course resonated deeply.

"Our national security is at risk due to Harvard's acquiescence in antisemitism, which is fueled by its cowardly leadership," Noem stated. "Anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology has tainted Harvard's campus and classrooms, destroying its reputation as a premier university."

The action taken by the Trump administration is a component of a larger effort to compel prestigious colleges to abolish their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and impose more regulations on student behavior and protests. Earlier this week, Harvard refused those conditions, leading to the revelation that $60 million in government contracts and $2.2 billion in federal funds would be suspended. There have also been rumors that Harvard University's tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status may be revoked.

A Harvard representative verified that the university was aware of DHS's action and reaffirmed the university's commitment to institutional autonomy in a statement sent to The Hill via email. The representative stated that Harvard "will continue to comply with the law and expects the Administration to do the same," adding that the university "will not surrender our independence or relinquish our constitutional rights."

While Harvard's supporters argue that academic freedom is under attack, conservatives view the administration's actions as long overdue. They contend that wealthy elite institutions have progressively turned into safe havens for unbridled antisemitism, intellectual brainwashing, and anti-American ideology.
