Harvard University announced it will no longer accept funding that was allocated to it via an emergency CCP virus aid package, coming a day after President Donald Trump questioned why the Ivy League university needed assistance.
“We have previously said that Harvard, like other institutions, will face significant financial challenges due to the pandemic and economic crisis it has caused,” the university said in a statement on Wednesday. “We are also concerned however, that the intense focus by politicians and others on Harvard in connection with this program may undermine participation in a relief effort... for the purpose of helping students and institutions whose financial challenges in the coming months may be most severe.”
