CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — The Trump administration is moving to cut all remaining federal contracts with Harvard University.

As first reported by the New York Times, a letter from the General Services Administration directs federal agencies to review contracts with Harvard for termination or to “seek alternative vendors.” Agencies must respond by June 6.

The Times reports the contracts are worth an estimated $100 million. The administration has already frozen over $2.6 billion of Harvard’s federal research grants.

“GSA understands that Harvard continues to engage in race discrimination, including in its admissions process and in other areas of student life,” reads the letter signed by Josh Gruenbaum, commissioner of the GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service.

This comes after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Monday that he was considering taking away $3 billion of federal grants from “a very antisemitic Harvard” and giving it to trade schools.

The administration has been engaged in a battle with the university for months.

Last Friday, Harvard sued the administration after the Department of Homeland Security moved to revoke the university’s ability to enroll international students. A federal judge blocked the administration’s move hours after Harvard filed a motion for a temporary restraining order.

The university also rejected a list of demands from the administration last month, prompting federal funding cuts. Harvard filed an earlier lawsuit over the cuts.
