The White House criticized the shows of Anti -Semitism and asked the efficiency of additional university financial support.
US president administration Donald Trump has frozen federal funds for Harvard University for $ 2.2 billion and has called on the university’s leadership to apologize for the shows of anti -semitism on campus. On Tuesday, April 15, CNN reported.
In addition, the White House questioned the appropriateness of additional financial support of the State University.
According to the Press Secretary of the White House, Caroline Litt, the administration’s actions are aimed at anti-Semitism in the higher educational institutions. He noted that Harvard should not only apologize to the public, but also conducts a number of reforms, especially to cancel the programs of difference -different, equality and integration (Dei), forbid wearing masks on campus protests and ensuring employees based on professional merit professionals.
Livitt also said that Trump considers changing Harvard tax status. Earlier on the same day, he threatened to impose the university with taxes as a political organization and withdraw it from the status of a non -profit organization. This issue, according to him, will be transferred to the US Internal Income Service (IRS).
“The president wants Harvard to apologize to American students for serious anti-Semitisms, which took place in a university town,” Livitt said.
He referred to the certificates of former President Harvard Claudin Hay during the congressional hearing. Hey then said that Jewish genocide calls may violate university policies related to persecution, “depending on the context.” After a wave of criticism, he apologized to the public.
In addition, Litvt has accused the Harvard Administration of Inaction in connection with students who participated in a protest camp on campus territory and tore the education process. He emphasized that Trump expects the university to be appropriate.
The White House also questioned the efficiency of the further provision of budget funds to one of the richest universities in the world.
“Why should taxpayers submit to the institution where more than 50 billion dollars are in accounts? And why should we supply the area where serious anti -Semitism is rooted?” -Noted the press secretary.
Note that in March, Harvard University temporarily suspended the lease of teachers and staff due to financial uncertainty caused by the enhanced federal financing inspection of the US president administration’s colleges and universities Donald Trump.
In the past, Trump threatened to stop federal funds for educational institutions that allow illegal protests.
