US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said on the 5th that Harvard University has failed to carry out reforms in accordance with the requirements previously put forward by the federal government, and the federal government will no longer provide it with any new funding. McMahon said Harvard University “systematically” violated federal law and “mocked” the American higher education system. Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on April 21, accusing the government of trying to manipulate Harvard University's academic decisions by freezing federal funds. The lawsuit is still ongoing.
