Every day, an ax. The persecution of Donald Trump against the university, which does not add up to his intervention, continues to rise. According to The New York Times on Tuesday, the Trump administration is preparing to cancel the remaining federal contracts with Harvard University, according to estimates, $ 100 million, according to a letter that will be sent on Tuesday to federal agencies. In it, agencies are also recommended to “look for alternative suppliers” for future services.
New abbreviations described in detail in the draft letter to which it had access New York TimesThey represent that the high position of the government called the complete destruction of historical commercial relations between the Federal Executive Director and Harvard.
Since last month, the administration froze about 3.2 billion dollars in the framework of subsidies and contracts with Harvard, according to the calculations of the New York newspaper, in addition to the fact that they ordered to block their ability to enroll foreign students.
The letter nominated by the New York Times, from May 27 and issued by the General Service Administration (GSA), will be delivered to the agencies on Tuesday morning. The document orders to answer before June 6 with a list of cancellation contracts. These contracts, which are considered critical, will not be immediately dismissed, but they will gradually be transferred to other suppliers, according to a letter signed by Josh Grunbaum, Commissioner of the Federal Procurement Service GSA, an agency responsible for managing public procurement.
According to the newspaper, contracts with about nine federal agencies will be affected.
Among the examples are a contract in the amount of $ 49,858 with national healthcare institutions to investigate the consequences of coffee consumption, and also $ 25,800 in the Department of National Security for Learning Programs for Senior Leaders. Some of these contracts will already be suspended suspension.
“Faced with the future, we also urge your agency to find other suppliers for the services in which they previously considered Harvard,” the letter says.
Donald Trump continues to increase pressure on Harvard University. His desire to intervene in university centers to apply his ultra -conservative agenda – under justification for anti -Semitism and rejection of gender diversity and policy of sexual orientation – has encountered the oldest university in the country, which currently opposes the threats and economic reduction of the Trump administration.
After last week, the White House ruled the blockade of enrollment of foreign students – the measure that Harvard appealed, and it was suspended that the Boston judge – on Monday, the US president released a new threat: “I am weighed to take 3000 million dollars in subsidies for a very anti -Semid Harvard, and it will give them a school, and it will be at the State University, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that which is that it will be the same It is necessary, and as it is necessary, and in general, in hospitality, in hospitality, in hospitality, in hospitality, and in general, in hospitality, and in general, in general! The remainer is 53,000 million dollars.
Trump says that about 31 % of Harvard students are foreigners, and asked why the United States should finance their training, when, according to him, his countries are not done. For his part, the Minister of National Security Christie Nuem also confirmed that the university refuses to provide requested students’ documentation.
To return the certification of his program of foreign students, the Trump administration gave Harvard the ultimatum 72 hours to provide six categories of information about foreign students over the past five years.
Among the data declared by the government, disciplinary files and videos of those who participated in protests are included, information that has not at the moment did not provide the university.
