As the Trump administration halts about $2.7 billion in Harvard University funding, the school’s president is absorbing some of the financial impacts by taking a 25 % pay cut, according to a university spokesperson.

In a letter sent by Trump’s Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism to the university on Tuesday, the administration informed Harvard that another $450 million in grants were on the chopping block because the school has allegedly become a “breeding ground for virtue signaling and discrimination.”

Harvard President Alan Garber is voluntarily taking a 25 percent pay cut for fiscal year 2026, a spokesperson confirmed to The Washington Post.
