New York, (EFE) .- The Secretary of Education of the United States, Linda McMahon, said the government will not grant new subsidies to Harvard University, claiming that the prestigious institution had “mocked” the country’s higher education system.
In a letter published on the social network X on Monday, McMahon said that the university had “breached its legal obligations, its ethical and fiduciary duties, its responsibilities for transparency and any hint of academic rigor.”
In this letter, addressed to the president of Harvard, Alan Garber, McMahon points out that the university has “mocked the United States Higher Education System”, so Harvard “will cease to be an institution financed with public funds.”
McMahon added that Harvard can resort to its fund of 53,000 million dollars and its wealthy alumni.

The Trump administration has repeatedly said that the institution has been invaded by leftist ideology and anti -Semitism.
For its part, last month, Harvard demanded the Trump administration to prevent the government from canceling 2,000 million dollars of existing federal funds.
The letter that McMahon wrote on Monday aims to freeze future subsidies.
Today’s letter accuses Harvard of violating the ruling of the United States Supreme Court of 2023 that prohibits admissions for breed, stating that “continues to incur an atrocious racism in its undergraduate and postgraduate powers”, without offering details.
