Trump Axes Harvard Funding: Restoring Accountability to the Ivory Tower
WASHINGTON, DC — In Case You Missed It (ICYMI): Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman August Pfluger's (TX-11) recent op-ed in the Daily Caller proves remarkably prescient as President Trump moves to terminate $100 million in federal contracts with Harvard University over rampant campus antisemitism and woke policies.
Chairman Pfluger slammed elite universities for taking taxpayer money while antisemitic incidents spiked by 700 percent on campuses:
"It's time for elitist universities to put their money where their mouth is: either demonstrate an unwavering commitment to fighting ALL forms of discrimination — or forfeit every penny of taxpayer funding. Americans deserve schools that uphold our values, not just cash our checks."
BACKGROUND: The Republican Study Committee is the oldest and largest conservative caucus in the House and represents the leading voice for conservative values in Congress. The RSC is home to 189 strong conservative members, fighting every single day for the American people.
