flag The Trump administration has placed Harvard University under heightened financial oversight, requiring it to use its own funds for student financial aid before accessing federal money and demanding a $36 million letter of credit. flag The move follows concerns over Harvard’s financial stability, compliance with civil rights laws, and admissions practices, particularly regarding race, after a 2023 Supreme Court ruling banning affirmative action. flag The Department of Education cited noncompliance with document requests and plans to issue over $1 billion in bonds as triggers. flag This action is part of a broader federal effort targeting elite universities, including the cancellation of $2.6 billion in research funding, which a federal judge ruled was ideologically driven and ordered restored. flag Harvard, which has a $53 billion endowment, has not publicly responded but has sued over the funding cuts. flag The administration continues to push for a settlement, with President Trump reportedly seeking at least $500 million in penalties.
