Report: Trump administration throws tantrum, plans to pull another $1B from Harvard

They’re apparently throwing a fit at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. From the WSJ: “The Trump administration has grown so furious with Harvard University after a week of escalating dispute between the two sides that it is planning to pull an additional $1 billion of the school’s funding for health research, according to people familiar with the matter.” …

And here I was, hoping for a relatively quiet Harvard-Trump week. 

Update — From the Globe: “Harvard sues Trump administration over funding freeze.”

Update II — 4.24.25 – Four days later and no further cuts. … It’s always risky to predict what Trump might do next given the chaotic nature of his administration.
