It was latest move in an extraordinary back-and-forth between the school and the federal government in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The letter from Alan M. Garber, Harvard\u2019s president, was sent a week after the Trump administration said it would stop giving Harvard any research grants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last month, the university took the government to court over what it has called unlawful intrusion into its operations. But on Monday, Dr. Garber\u2019s tone was softer, saying he agreed with some of the Trump administration\u2019s concerns about higher education, but that Harvard\u2019s efforts to combat bigotry and foster an environment for free expression had been hurt by the government\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Garber said he embraced the goals of curbing antisemitism on campus; fostering more intellectual diversity, including welcoming conservative voices; and curtailing the use of race in admissions decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those goals \u201care undermined and threatened by the federal government\u2019s overreach into the constitutional freedoms of private universities and its continuing disregard of Harvard\u2019s compliance with the law,\u201d Dr. Garber said in the letter to Linda McMahon, the secretary of education.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The university\u2019s response came one week after Ms. McMahon wrote to Harvard to advise the university against applying for future grants, \u201csince none will be provided.\u201d That letter provoked new worries inside Harvard about the long-term consequences of its clash with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAt its best, a university should fulfill the highest ideals of our nation, and enlighten the thousands of hopeful students who walk through its magnificent gates,\u201d Ms. McMahon wrote. \u201cBut Harvard has betrayed its ideal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Rolling through a roster of conservative complaints about the school, Ms. McMahon fumed about the university\u2019s \u201cbloated bureaucracy,\u201d its admissions policies, its international students, its embrace of some Democrats and even its mathematics curriculum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. McMahon referred to Harvard as \u201ca publicly funded institution,\u201d even though Harvard is private and the vast majority of its revenue does not come from the government. She suggested that the university rely more on its own funds, noting that Harvard\u2019s endowment, valued at more than $53 billion, would give it a \u201chead start.\u201d (Much of Harvard\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/22\/us\/harvard-trump-funding-endowment.html\" title=\"\">endowment is tied up in restricted funds and cannot be repurposed at will<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cToday\u2019s letter,\u201d Ms. McMahon wrote, \u201cmarks the end of new grants for the university.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Dr. Garber\u2019s letter on Monday, he said that the university had created a strategy to combat antisemitism and other bigotry, and had invested in the academic study of Judaism and related fields. But he said the university would not \u201csurrender its core, legally-protected principles out of fear of unfounded retaliation by the federal government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He denied Ms. McMahon\u2019s assertion that Harvard was political.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is neither Republican nor Democratic,\u201d he said of the university. \u201cIt is not an arm of any other political party or movement. Nor will it ever be. Harvard is a place to bring people of all backgrounds together to learn in an inclusive environment where ideas flourish regardless of whether they are deemed \u2018conservative,\u2019 \u2018liberal,\u2019 or something else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although Harvard is the nation\u2019s wealthiest university by far, officials there have warned that federal cuts could have devastating consequences on the campus and beyond. During Harvard\u2019s 2024 fiscal year, the university received about $687 million from the federal government for research, a sum that accounted for about 11 percent of the university\u2019s revenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The government can block the flow of federal money through a process called debarment. But the procedure is laborious, and the outcome may be appealed. Experts on government contracting said Ms. McMahon\u2019s letter indicated that the administration had not followed the ordinary procedure to blacklist a recipient of federal funds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harvard officials are aware that, even if they challenge the administration\u2019s tactics successfully in court, Mr. Trump\u2019s government could still take other steps to choke off money that would be harder to fight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The federal government often sets priorities for research that shape agencies\u2019 day-to-day decisions about how and where federal dollars are spent. Some academics worry that the government might pivot away from fields of study in which Harvard has deep expertise, effectively shutting out the university\u2019s researchers. Or the administration could simply assert that Harvard\u2019s proposals were incompatible with the government\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jessica Tillipman, an expert on government contracting law at George Washington University, said that it can be difficult to show that the government is using a back door to blacklist a grant recipient.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou basically have to demonstrate and point to concrete evidence, not just a feeling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, she said, Ms. McMahon\u2019s letter could offer Harvard an opening to contest a protracted run of grant denials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s not as hard to prove,\u201d Ms. Tillipman said, \u201cwhen you have a giant letter that said, by the way, we aren\u2019t giving you these things anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
