00:00The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it is terminating $60 million in federal
00:05grants to Harvard University, saying the institution allegedly failed to address anti-Semitic harassment
00:11and ethnic discrimination on campus.
00:14The department says in an ex-post quote, due to Harvard University's continued failure
00:18to address anti-Semitic harassment and race discrimination, HHS is terminating multiple
00:24multi-year grant awards totaling approximately $60 million over their full duration.
00:29The department says Harvard still considers ethnicity when reviewing student applications
00:33and has allowed discrimination against Jewish students as a result of the pro-Palestinian
00:38student protests last year.
00:40Columbia University in New York also faced similar accusations of anti-Semitism.
00:45In recent weeks, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration stopped or paused nearly $3 billion
00:50in federal grants and contracts for the university.
