From Fox News: The Trump administration is asking all federal agencies to find ways to terminate all federal contracts with Havard University amid an ongoing standoff over foreign students’ records at the Ivy League school.

The General Services Administration is planning to send a letter Tuesday instructing all federal agencies to review the estimated $100 million remaining in federal contracts with Harvard and potentially “find alternative vendors,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by Fox News.

The remaining federal contracts include a $527,000 agreement for Harvard ManageMentor Licenses, which was awarded in September 2021, a $523,000 contract for Harvard to conduct research on energy drinks and the health outcomes of other dietary intakes overtime, which was awarded in August 2023, and a $39,000 contract for gradate student research services, which was award in April 2025, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News.

The New York Times first reported about a draft of the letter.


The New York Times doesn’t explain how they obtained a copy of the letter, which is reportedly dated May 27. However, the Times quotes “an administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the official had not been authorized to discuss internal communications.”

According to the New York Times:

Contracts with about nine agencies would be affected, according to the administration official.

Examples of contracts that would be affected, according to a federal database, include a $49,858 National Institutes of Health contract to investigate the effects of coffee drinking and a $25,800 Homeland Security Department contract for senior executive training. Some of the Harvard contracts under review may have already been subject to “stop work” orders.

Pro-Trump lawyer Mike Davis pointed out, “Harvard has a $53 billion endowment. It doesn’t need more money. And it fosters antisemitic hatred. So we shouldn’t give it more money.”

Some government contracts have already been cancelled.

The Department of Homeland Security announced last month: “DHS is announcing the cancelation of two grants totaling over $2.7 million to Harvard University. With anti-American, pro-Hamas ideology poisoning its campus and classrooms, Harvard is unfit to be entrusted with taxpayer dollars. With a $53.2 billion endowment, Harvard can fund its own chaos—DHS won’t.”

Fox News analyst Lisa Booth said last month, “Harvard is the anti-Robin Hood, plundering the poor to enrich the wealthy. Despite its $53 billion endowment, the university shamelessly seeks federal funding. This is utterly indefensible.”
