Trump administration reportedly set to cancel all federal contracts with Harvard University

# US president Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly set to order federal agencies to cancel all government contracts with Harvard University. The about 30 contracts are collectively worth 1.8-billion-rand. Since April, the administration has already frozen 57-billion-rand in research grants and attempted to ban the university from enrolling foreign students, a move temporarily blocked by federal courts. The New York Times says the directive set to circulate to federal agencies claims the university continues to engage in racial discrimination in its admission process.
