(DCNF)—The Department of Health and Human Services has canceled another $60 million in grants to Harvard University in the latest strike by the Trump administration against the Ivy League school.
The termination of $60 million in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-related funding was relayed in a May 19 letter obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Harvard has seen nearly $3 billion in federal grants and contracts frozen or canceled. The university sued the Trump administration on April 21, refusing to negotiate on a series of suggested reforms, including the dissolution of diversity, equity and inclusion, actions toward merit-based hiring, and disciplinary action against violent student groups.
The letter cites the findings of the Harvard Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias, which concluded in an April 2025 report that some instructors had “mainstreamed and normalized what many Jewish and Israeli students experience as antisemitism and anti-Israeli bias.”
“We are deeply concerned that these forms of bigotry are becoming increasingly normalized in academia, particularly within what seem to be highly politicized disciplines such as public health, medicine, and education,” the report states.
Granting CDC funding to an institution the administration views as discriminatory would be inconsistent with the federal agency’s mission, Jamie Legier, CDC’s chief grants management official, said in the May 19 letter.
“Grant dollars should only support institutions that comply with principles and laws of nondiscrimination,” Legier writes.
The letter said Harvard supported an environment that failed to “foster safe, equal, and healthy working and learning conditions conducive to high-quality research and free inquiry,” and, thus, the CDC grants were inconsistent with “championing the very best of American public health practice.”
“No corrective action is possible here,” the letter continues.
Harvard President Alan M. Garber and Harvard Provost John F. Manning announced on May 14 that the university would earmark $250 million from its central budget to compensate for the lost federal funding in addition to the $500 million the university typically allocates for research.
Harvard maintains a $53.3 billion endowment. Harvard says it can only spend a small fraction of the endowment each year because 80% of it is earmarked for a particular purpose by a donor. School officials also say “Harvard is obligated to preserve the purchasing power of these gifts by spending only a small fraction of their value each year.” (RELATED: House Republicans Put Ivy League’s Massive Endowments On Chopping Block)
The university generated a surplus of $45 million on a revenue base of $6.5 billion in its most recent annual financial report.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
