Trump administration seeks to end all federal contracts with Harvard

The Trump administration intends to ask all federal agencies to seek ways to end their contracts — worth an estimated $100 million — with Harvard University, a senior administration official told NBC News on Tuesday.

The Trump administration intends to ask all federal agencies to seek ways to end their contracts — worth an estimated $100 million — with Harvard University, a senior administration official told NBC News on Tuesday.

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

The development was first reported by The New York Times.

The proposed cuts mark the latest escalation in a monthslong fight between the Trump administration and the nation's oldest — and arguably most prestigious — university.

A copy of the letter, obtained by NBC News, instructs agencies to respond to the GSA with a list of contracts they have terminated with the university by June 6.
