The Trump administration's Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism on Monday announced it was freezing $2.2 billion in federal funding for Harvard, after the Ivy League school declared it would not comply with the administration's demands. 

Harvard University earlier in the day stated it would not agree to meet the administration's updated list of demands, and the university's president claimed the administration had overreached by trying to get the school to comply.

The joint task force slammed Harvard's decision in a statement, arguing it was evidence that the university was not serious about its commitment to combat antisemitism. 

"Harvard’s statement today reinforces the troubling entitlement mindset that is endemic in our nation's most prestigious universities and colleges – that federal investment does not come with the responsibility to uphold civil rights laws," the task force said.

"The disruption of learning that has plagued campuses in recent years is unacceptable," it continued. "The harassment of Jewish students is intolerable. It is time for elite universities to take the problem seriously and commit to meaningful change if they wish to continue receiving taxpayer support."

The announcement makes Harvard the latest Ivy League institution to lose some federal funding because of its response to protests that engulfed its campuses last year. The administration has also reduced some of its funding for Princeton.
