Harvard School of Public Health faces ‘budget crisis’ after Trump cuts billions in US federal funding

The Harvard School of Public Health is facing a major budget crisis after the Trump administration withdrew over $2 billion in US federal funding. The school has begun layoffs, ended leases on key buildings, and suspended numerous research grants. With nearly half its revenue previously coming from federal sources, the cuts have jeopardized critical research and international student enrollment. HSPH is now working to protect its core mission amid escalating financial and political pressure.
