Harvard Risks Losing Federal Funds After Obstructing Congressional Anti-Semitism Probe

Harvard University risks losing more than half a billion dollars in federal funding as it obstructs a congressional investigation into widespread anti-Semitism on its campus, according to the top lawmaker handling the probe. Rep. Virginia Foxx (R., N.C.), chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce—which is investigating Harvard and other top American universities for their failure to stem an outbreak of anti-Jewish violence on campus—told the Washington Free Beacon in a wide-ranging interview that the Ivy League school’s refusal to comply with the probe could cost it dearly. Harvard took in $625 million in federal funds in 2021 alone, accounting for 67 percent of its total sponsored revenue.
