AI Summary:
The administration of President Donald Trump has announced it will undertake a review of federal contracts with Harvard University. But critics fear the prestigious university is the latest target in a purge of pro-Palestinian voices. The announcement follows similar actions taken against another private Ivy League campus, Columbia University in New York. Free-speech experts denounce the Trump administration as blowing accusations of anti-Semitism out of proportion in order to exercise control over top universities. The Trump administration stripped Columbia University of $400m in grants and contracts on March 7 effective immediately. It accused Columbia of allowing “relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-semitic harassment” on its campus. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression calls the administration’s move a blueprint to supercharge campus censorship. “The letter goes far beyond what is appropriate for the government to mandate and will chill campus discourse,” the organisation wrote in a statement. Critics said Trump’s proposal amounted to a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians who call Gaza home.

Good thing you voted for Trump because Harris was so very frightening!
