Secretary of Education Linda McMahon on Wednesday defended the Trump administration’s crackdown on Harvard University and efforts to address campus antisemitism.
Testifying before Congress, McMahon backed the announcement the General Services Administration made in late May to pull remaining government contracts and federal funds from Harvard.
“To receive federal funding, these institutions must comply with federal law. Every student deserves an education free from bias, unfair treatment, or ideological agendas that undermine equal opportunity,” McMahon told the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
She praised the actions taken across the Trump administration to “provide clarity” on the problem of discrimination.
“We are strengthening oversight to ensure that both K-12 and higher education institutions adhere to civil rights laws, especially those addressing discrimination,” McMahon said.
