U.S. Secretary of Education Slams Harvard University: Federal Funding in Jeopardy Over “Hateful Discrimination” and Mismanagement

Harvard University, a name long synonymous with academic prestige, now faces a historic challenge that threatens not only its reputation but also its financial future. In a letter dated May 5, 2025, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda E. McMahon condemned Harvard for a series of alarming failures, ranging from academic mismanagement and discriminatory practices to what officials described as blatant contempt for federal law.

Harvard, boasting a massive $53.2 billion endowment—larger than the GDP of over 100 countries—has received billions in taxpayer-funded grants. However, Secretary McMahon made it clear that the federal government views this support as a privilege, not a right. She accused Harvard of fostering a culture of exclusion, inviting violent foreign students, and abandoning basic academic standards.

The letter also touched on multiple scandals, including plagiarism incidents involving former leadership and accusations of unlawful discrimination in admissions, which drew national attention after Congressional hearings led by Rep. Elise Stefanik.

Leadership was another major point of concern. McMahon sharply criticized Penny Pritzker, chair of Harvard’s governing board, for transforming the university into what hedge fund titan Bill Ackman called “a political advocacy organization for one party.” Ackman has openly called for Pritzker’s resignation, citing Harvard’s financial instability and its staggering $8 billion in debt.

In an especially harsh section, McMahon announced that Harvard will no longer receive federal grants. She stated that the university should rely on its enormous endowment and wealthy alumni base to operate going forward.

“The Administration’s priorities have not changed and today’s letter marks the end of new grants for the University,” McMahon declared.

The Secretary concluded the letter by emphasizing that these actions are aimed at pushing Harvard to reclaim its place as a respected institution that develops future American leaders. She encouraged Harvard to adopt proposed reforms, which include merit-based admissions, disciplinary reform, accountability measures, and full cooperation with law enforcement and federal agencies.

Harvard, once the gold standard of higher education, now finds itself facing serious questions about its direction, values, and governance. The world will be watching as it navigates this critical moment and decides whether to reform or risk its place at the top.
