Trump GSA: End $100M in Harvard Federal Contracts

By    |   Tuesday, 27 May 2025 11:30 AM EDT

President Donald Trump's ongoing effort to cut the federal spigot to Harvard has taken another step: a letter from the General Services Administration (GSA) urging federal agencies to cancel all contracts with the institution that Trump alleges is violating the Constitution in the name of liberal politics.

Stop doing government business with Harvard, the administration is telling its agencies.

The May 27 memo from the federal procurement office to Trump administration agencies urges the canceling of an estimated $100 million in existing deals, The New York Times reported Tuesday, and calls for government leaders to seek "alternative vendors for future services."

"We recommend that your agency terminate for convenience each contract that it determines has failed to meet its standards, and transition to a new vend or those contracts that could be better serviced by an alternative counterparty.

"Going forward, we also encourage your agency to seek alternative vendors for future services where you had previously considered Harvard."

While the $100 million is a significant figure, it pales in comparison to the nearly $3.2 billion in federal taxpayer grants that Harvard benefits from that Trump has already frozen in the past month.

The Trump administration agencies have until June 6 to respond to the GSA with their lists of contract cancellations.

Among the contracts Harvard has been given that will face the ax:

  • $49,858 from the National Institutes of Health to investigate coffee drinking.
  • $25,800 from the Homeland Security Department for senior executive training.

"The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is assisting all federal agencies in a review for termination or transition of their federal government contracts with Harvard University and affiliates," the letter that is getting sent Tuesday, according to the Times, reads. "This review aligns with the administration's directive that all federal contracted services steadfastly uphold and advance agency strategic priorities.

"As you know, being a counterparty with the federal government comes with the deep responsibility and commitment to abide by all federal laws and ensure the safeguarding of taxpayer money. As fiduciaries to the taxpayer, the government has a duty to ensure that procurement dollars are directed to vendors and contractors who promote and champion principles of nondiscrimination and the national interest."

Among the Harvard's alleged transgressions, according to the GSA letter:

  • "Harvard continues to engage in race discrimination" in admissions.
  • "Discriminatory hiring practices."
  • Harvard Law Review's "pervasive and explicit racial discrimination" in story selection and "editor appointment."
  • "Recent events at Harvard University involving antisemitic action."
  • "Lack of commitment to nondiscrimination and our national values and priorities."

Trump has called out Harvard for effectively being a globalist money-laundering operation, taking taxpayer dollars and enriching the rest of the world with them.

"Why isn't Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from foreign lands, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay nothing toward their student's education, nor do they ever intend to," Trump posted in an early Sunday morning post on Truth Social. "Nobody told us that!

"We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard billions of dollars, but Harvard isn't exactly forthcoming. We want those names and countries.

"Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the federal government to continue granting money to you!"

That figure mentioned by Trump was a reference to Harvard's $53 billion ($53,000,000,000) endowment, but even Trump did not fully expose the massive amount, leaving out three zeros.
