This letter cutting all federal contracts comes amid the Trump administration's row with Harvard University. The row began after the university refused to release data regarding its international students.
The Trump administration has already frozen 3.2 million dollars in grants and contracts with Harvard University. The administration has also tried to halt the enrollment of international students.
As per NYT, the latest letter issued by the Trump administration instructs federal agencies to respond by June 6 with a list of contract cancellations with Harvard.
The letter adds that services deemed critical for the university will not be cancelled but transferred to other vendors.
“Going forward, we also encourage your agency to seek alternative vendors for future services where you had previously considered Harvard,” the letter added.

The new administration has accused the university of liberal bias, allowing antisemitic behaviour. Trump has also accused Harvard of using racial considerations for enrollment of students.
After Trump broke grants for the university, Harvard responded and sued the Trump administration, seeking a restoration of its funding.
