Keeping the pressure on Harvard, the Trump administration will ask federal agencies to end their contracts with the famous university, as a reaction to what it says is the mishandling of anti-Semitism and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, according to The Epoch Times.

After Harvard refused to give way to a list of demands to change policies about DEI and Anti-Semitism, the Trump administration canceled about $2.6 billion in federal grants to the university.

The administration has already canceled around $2.6 billion in federal grants after the university declined to accede to a list of government demands to change policies concerning DEI and anti-Semitism. As a countermeasure, the university sued the administration, alleging the move violates the Constitution’s free speech protections.

It is to “determine which are non-critical and could be terminated for convenience, and which are critical and should be transitioned to another vendor,” the spokesperson said.

The letter said that receiving federal funding is a privilege and not a right.

“Being a counterparty with the federal government comes with the deep responsibility and commitment to abide by all federal laws and ensure the safeguarding of taxpayer money. As fiduciaries to the taxpayer, the government has a duty to ensure that procurement dollars are directed to vendors and contractors who promote and champion principles of nondiscrimination and the national interest,” Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of the GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, wrote in the letter.

According to The Epoch Times, there are 30 federal contracts worth about $100 million, according to the General Services Administration (GSA). A letter to the agencies is scheduled to be sent on May 27, a GSA spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
