Harvard University on Monday rejected the Trump administration’s demands to eliminate its DEI programs and screen international students for ideological beliefs, according to CNBC. The decision puts nearly $9 billion in federal funding at risk. Harvard President Alan Garber said the government’s demands overstep legal authority and infringe on the university’s independence. The White House signaled it may revoke funding, saying federal dollars should not support what it called “dangerous racial discrimination.”
