Trump Administration to end contracts with Harvard University

(NBC, KYMA/KECY) - The Trump Administration is moving to end all federal contracts with Harvard University.

According to a senior administration official, the General Services Administration will send a letter to federal agencies later Tuesday asking them to "identify any contracts with Harvard, and whether they can be canceled or redirected elsewhere."

The letter will order agencies to respond with a list of terminated contracts by June 6.

The move marks the latest escalation in a months-long fight between the White House and the prestigious university, stemming from Harvard's refusal to comply with sweeping demands from the Trump Administration's task force to combat anti-Semitism last month.

The task force sought to review who Harvard can admit or hire and subject its faculty to a government audit.
