Harvard University, one of the nation’s wealthiest schools, on Monday joined the list of universities across the country imposing hiring freezes, citing the uncertainty created by President Trump’s threats to slash funding for higher education.

The move was announced in an email to the school community by Dr. Alan M. Garber, Harvard’s president.

The announcement comes three days after the Trump administration pulled $400 million in grants and contracts from Columbia University over accusations that the school had failed to protect Jewish students and faculty from antisemitism.

A number of other universities have announced hiring freezes or “chills” in the past month in response to potential policy changes of the Trump administration. But the step by Harvard, which has an endowment of more than $50 billion, illustrates the gravity of the situation facing higher education as the Trump administration continues its crusade against colleges and universities.

Harvard,ijogo cassino like Columbia, is one of 10 schools the Trump administration identified last month as subject to review over accusations that it had not done enough to curb antisemitic behavior on campus during protests over the war in Gaza.

In a similar move Monday, the University of Pennsylvania — which is not among the 10 schools the Trump administration identified last month — announced a freeze on staff hiring. It also announced a review of faculty hiring, citing changes to federal research funding, including “stop-work” orders that Penn already received.
