Harvard University will receive no new federal grants until it meets a series of demands from Trump’s administration, the Education Department announced in a letter to Harvard’s president Monday.

The administration previously froze $2.2 billion in federal grants to Harvard, and Trump is pushing to strip the school of its tax-exempt status.

In a press call, an Education Department official said Harvard will receive no new federal grants until it “demonstrates responsible management of the university” and satisfies federal demands on a range of subjects.

Trump’s proposed budget calls for the elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts, which provides hundreds of millions of dollars each year to individuals and institutions around the country.

Meanwhile, dozens of organizations have received notifications that grants have been rejected or rescinded. An NEA official reported Monday that staff members have been asked to resign or retire.
