Colleges and Universities who have allowed pro-Hamas protests are in danger of having their Federal Support removed. Columbia University is the first to have $400 million in Federal Funding removed. Boston University, Emerson, Harvard, Tufts, UMass Amherst and Wellesley College all received letters from the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, warning them money could be pulled if they don’t protect Jewish students.
Duke would be among the hardest hit. In its previous fiscal year, Duke took in $580 million in NIH grants and contracts, 11th most among the country's research institutions. The cuts are delayed temporarily by a court challenge, but universities nationwide have implemented hiring freezes, scaled back research and drawn up contingency plans in case the loss in funding takes effect.
Harvard, Yale among 60 colleges warned of fund cuts over antisemitism claims.

is not exactly cash-strapped. It had a revenue base of $6.5
billion,
an operating surplus of $45 million and an endowment valued at $53.2 billion in
fiscal 2024, all of which should help it weather normal fluctuations in the
sector and economy.
Altogether,
658 institutions with combined endowment values of almost $874 billion
participated in the voluntary survey, with the median endowment value at
$243 million. Nearly a third (30 percent) of the respondents reported
an endowment valued at $100 million or less.
Comments
Federal Grants to Universities funded by the US Department of Education should be cut. NIH, DOD and Grants should be competitively bid as contracts. NIH should focus on RFK’s priorities and restricted to medical research with little or no overhead charges.
US States, Counties and Cities who refuse to repeal their “Sanctuary” status are also subject to having their Federal Support removed.
Republican state lawmakers in Maine are urging Democrats to repeal the state's policy allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports, warning that failure to act could jeopardize hundreds of millions in public education funding.
