Fact Check: Trump administration's findings could strip Harvard of federal student aid eligibility

What We Know

The claim that the Trump administration's findings could strip Harvard University of its federal student aid eligibility is misleading. The Trump administration did initiate investigations into several colleges, including Harvard, regarding their admissions practices and potential discrimination against Asian American applicants. This was part of a broader effort to address perceived biases in college admissions (see source-1). However, the investigations did not directly result in any immediate actions to revoke federal aid eligibility for Harvard or any other institution.

In fact, the U.S. Department of Education, under the Trump administration, did not finalize any findings that would have led to such a drastic measure against Harvard. The investigations were ongoing and did not culminate in a clear resolution that would strip the university of federal funding (see source-2).

Analysis

The claim suggests a definitive outcome from the Trump administration's investigations into Harvard, which is not supported by the evidence. While the administration did express concerns about admissions practices, the lack of any formal action to revoke federal aid eligibility indicates that the investigations were more about political posturing than actual policy changes.

The sources used to support this claim are not directly related to the specific findings or outcomes of the investigations into Harvard. For instance, discussions about Trump's views on various topics, including his interactions with foreign leaders (see source-5), do not provide relevant information regarding the status of federal aid for Harvard. Additionally, the lack of credible, direct evidence from reliable sources about any formal decision to strip Harvard of its federal aid eligibility further undermines the claim.

Conclusion

Verdict: False. The assertion that the Trump administration's findings could strip Harvard of federal student aid eligibility is not substantiated by evidence. While investigations were conducted, they did not lead to any formal actions that would affect Harvard's federal funding status.
