Some alumni want Harvard to resist Trump administration demands the university must meet to receive $9 billion in federal grants and contracts being threatened during an investigation into campus antisemitism.

The Trump administration is threatening to rescind federal funding over several problems with Harvard University’s structure and alleged failures, including allowing and fueling antisemitism. The federal government has pushed large universities like Columbia and Brown to change their policies and reform their schools in order to continue receiving federal funding.

Harvard University received a letter from a federal task force Thursday outlining policy demands tied to nearly $9 billion in federal funding, a university spokesperson told CNN.

As with most confrontations, the merits in this clash are not one-sided. But the Trump administration is acting in bad faith.

Eight-point-seven billion. Four-hundred million. One-hundred-seventy-five million. These are just some examples of the money the federal government has withheld or is threatening to withhold from various colleges and universities,

A pro-Palestinian student group at Harvard has been put on probation by the university. WBZ TV's Chris Tanaka has that and other top stories in Boston.
