Federal authorities in the United States have announced the suspension of funding amounting to approximately 23 billion Norwegian kroner to Harvard University. This decision follows extensive correspondence between the university and the federal government, during which Harvard has declined to comply with a series of demands set forth by the Trump administration. Among these demands was a request for the university to discontinue its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, as well as to enforce stricter disciplinary measures among its student body.

🔎 Fact Check

The post is misleading. The Trump administration did freeze approximately $2.2 billion in grants to Harvard, not 23 billion Norwegian kroner. Additionally, the freeze was linked to compliance with demands related to antisemitism, not specifically focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
