In a letter to Harvard, the decision is motivated by the university having become a "breeding ground for virtue signaling and discrimination". The educational institution has, according to the letter, a struggle ahead of it in a "steep uphill climb" to reclaim its legacy of "academic brilliance".
Harvard has not commented on the Trump administration's latest action.
The educational institution has been punished with increasingly harsh sanctions from the White House after refusing to submit to the government's demands regarding limiting pro-Palestinian demonstrations and programs for diversity and inclusion.
The government has previously stopped state grants of 2.2 billion dollars and threatened to remove the university's tax exemption.
