Why Trump administration stopped funding

The Trump administration has recently stopped a grant of $ 2.2 billion for Harvard University and a contract of $ 60 million (about Rs 500 crore). The reason is that the Trump administration issued a instruction to Harvard on 3 April, stating that Harvard would have to close his diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) offices. Also, the university will have to change its recruitment and admission policies and cooperate in the immigration screening of international students.

Howard refused to accept instructions

Harvard refused to accept this instruction of the Trump administration. Howard issued a statement saying that this step is against the constitutional freedom and sovereignty of the university. The university said in its statement that

These demands of the government are not only outside the legal purview, but also against the values ​​of our institute. No government can decide what we should teach, whom to recruit or do research on which subject. At the same time, Harvard also said that he is ready for dialogue but will not accept such instructions which are beyond the law.
