The Trump administration is asking all federal agencies to find a way to terminate all federal contracts with Hubbard University amid ongoing conflict over foreign students’ records at Ivy League schools.
According to a copy of the letter obtained by Fox News, the General Services Department plans to send a letter Tuesday to all federal agencies confirming an estimated $100 million remaining in federal contracts with Harvard and instructing them to “find alternative vendors.”
The remaining federal contracts were awarded a $527,000 contract for Harvard Management License awarded in September 2021, a $523,000 contract for Harvard University, and other overtime health results for dietary intake awarded in August 2023, and a $39,000 contract FIR Recruitment Student Research Service in April 2025.
The New York Times first reported on the draft letter.
Harvard has already sued in federal court to restore approximately $3.2 billion in federal grants, which have already been frozen by the administration since last month.

In another lawsuit, the university was given a temporary restraining order on Friday, temporarily blocking the government from canceling school accreditations in its student and exchange visitor programs. The program allows universities to host international students with an F-1 or J-1 visa to study at US Harvard University. This said the cancellation affects more than 7,000 visa holders. Another hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in Boston Federal Court.
President Donald Trump said in a true social post Monday that he “we are considering stealing $3 billion in grants from the highly anti-Semitic Harvard and giving it to our whole land trade school.”
“What a great investment for America and it was a terrible need!!” he wrote.

The president also accused Harvard of being “very late,” handing over documents about foreign students and “shop and finding the absolute best judge.”
Homeland Security (DHS) Director Christie Noem said Thursday that the university revoked its Harvard accreditation after refusing to comply with multiple requests for information about foreign students, while adopting a policy of “perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students and adopting racist “sympathy,” racist diversity, equality and inclusion.”
The requested records include all audio or video footage owned by Harvard regarding threats to other students and university staff, “disenfranchised” of other classmates or university staff, and “dangerous or violent activities” by non-immigrant students registered with Harvard over the past five years.

Noem also seeks disciplinary records and audio or video footage of all protests involving non-immigrant students. The DHS said Harvard’s response has been insufficient so far.
