May 27 (UPI) -- The Trump administration announced Tuesday it plans to cancel all its contracts with Harvard University.
The plan, first reported by The New York Times and confirmed by NBC News and CNN, would instruct federal agencies to sever contracts totaling about $100 million with the university.
"The U.S. General Services Administration is assisting all federal agencies in a review for termination or transition of their federal government contracts with Harvard University and affiliates," a letter from Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum posted by The New York Times said.
The letter alleged that "Harvard continues to engage in race discrimination, including in its admissions process and in other areas of student life," a reference to administration's claims that the university has failed to protect its students from anti-Semitic discrimination, and its alleged use of DEI programs and practices in regard to both admissions and consideration of employment.
