Harvard posts deficit of over $110 million as funding feud with Trump continues to sting
Harvard has stated that it had an “extraordinarily challenging” fiscal year amid its ongoing feud with the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump withheld over $2 million in federal research funding after he accused Harvard of “repeatedly” failing to confront anti-Semitic harassment on its campuses, arguing that the university was violating federal civil rights law.
'Even by the standards of our centuries-long history, fiscal year 2025 was extraordinarily challenging, with political and economic disruption affecting many sectors, including higher education.'
Harvard responded to the funding freeze by suing the administration. While most of those awards have been reinstated, according to Harvard, President Donald Trump’s actions against the university appear to have made an impact.
“The reinstatements of those grants do not erase the disruption the terminations sparked, nor do they negate the uncertainty ahead. That means we can’t simply return to ‘business as usual,’” Harvard chief financial officer Ritu Kalra told Bloomberg.
A financial report released Thursday by the Ivy League school showed a $113 million deficit for fiscal year 2025, which ended on September 30. This marks Harvard’s first operating loss since 2020 and its largest deficit since 2011. In contrast, for fiscal year 2024, Harvard reported a $45 million gain.
Harvard’s financial difficulties prompted it to make “difficult but necessary choices,” according to Alan Garber, the university’s president. It reportedly implemented a hiring freeze, initiated layoffs, scaled back projects, and withheld salary increases from exempt employees.

“Even by the standards of our centuries-long history, fiscal year 2025 was extraordinarily challenging, with political and economic disruption affecting many sectors, including higher education,” Garber wrote.
He also blamed President Donald Trump’s termination of federal research funding, noting that a federal judge found the move to be unlawful. The administration reportedly has plans to appeal the judge’s decision.

“We closed [the fiscal year] confronting the abrupt termination of nearly all of Harvard’s federal research grants, facing potential constraints on the exchange of international scholars, and considering how we will absorb the enactment of a substantial increase to the federal tax on endowment income, scheduled to take effect in fiscal 2027,” the report read.
Despite its reported challenges, Harvard recorded the largest current-use gifts in its history, totaling $629 million — a 19% increase over the previous fiscal year. However, the university's endowment gifts, which are more restricted in their use, have declined over the last two years. In fiscal year 2023, Harvard collected $561 million in endowment gifts, while the amounts dropped to $368 million in 2024 and $364 million in 2025.

PBS tries to destroy notion of black 2-parent households
Harvard sociologist Christina Cross is on a mission to downplay the importance of a two-parent home in black families — while claiming that instead of a stable family structure, they simply need more government aid.
“It is true that when black children grow up with both parents, they tend to experience advantages, and they do tend to have improved outcomes. It is also true, unfortunately, that they still lag behind their white peers in the same family structure,” Cross said in an interview with journalist Michelle Martin on PBS.
“And my findings indicate that much of that has to do with these wide gaps in economic resources. And so if we really want to turn the tide, we need to be thinking about how to bolster family resources instead of making cuts to key social safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP,” she continued.
“We could be thinking about ways to help families to stay afloat during these challenging times by increasing that amount of aid,” she added.
In another clip, Martin points out that “black two-parent families are almost invisible in academic literature even though they make up nearly half of black families today.”
“Because we haven’t focused on black two-parent families, we haven’t known how drastic the opportunity gaps are for this group compared to their white peers. It has allowed us to believe for so long that the two-parent family is the great equalizer, which has actually shown up in the way that we craft policy,” Cross explained.
BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock and BlazeTV contributor Delano Squires are not even close to being on the same page as Cross.
“Christina Cross wrote about the quote-unquote ‘myth’ of the two-parent family about six years ago in the New York Times. So I’m familiar with her work, and she’s one of, you know, she’s the type of scholar who connects marriage to white supremacy and hetero-patriarchy,” Squires explains.
“So again, it’s this idea that marriage is an oppressive institution, that it’s rooted in whiteness and that it doesn’t benefit black families as much as it does white families, which obviously is completely false, but this is the type of thing that you get nowadays,” he continues.
“The next thing you know, she’s talking about more government funding for TANF and SNAP, which has nothing to do with two married two-parent families because the median household income for black married couples under the age of 65 is $122,000,” he adds.
This, Squires explains, is “higher than the median income overall for every other racial group including Asians.”
“So she starts by saying, ‘Look at black two-parent families’ and then by the time she’s finished with you, she’s talking about more government welfare programs,” he says, adding, “which almost exclusively are for unmarried women with children.”

Harvard hires DRAG QUEEN professor to teach ‘Queer Ethnography’ and ‘RuPaulitics’
Harvard University has decided to lean even more into the LGBTQ agenda, announcing the hiring of a new visiting gender and sexuality professor who happens to be a drag queen — and goes by the name of “LaWhore Vagistan.”
The professor, Kareem Khubchandani, will be teaching two courses on “queer ethnography” during the fall semester and “RuPaulitics: Drag, Race, and Desire” during the spring semester.
“I don’t know why anyone would ever send their children to Harvard, especially as much as it costs,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.
“When you see something like this going down, I want conservatives to really understand what they are up against when it comes to academia. Not only just how rotten it is — most importantly, the role that the government has in subsidizing it,” BlazeTV contributor Eric July says.
“Obviously, this drag queen is going to teach fake classes; 90% of the degrees are fake. They’re useless. Especially in this … age of ever-growing technology, a lot of what they teach is obsolete. Effectively, academia right now is a Ponzi scheme,” he continues.
And according to July, academia is more than just a Ponzi scheme. It's also responsible for the path of degeneracy many in our country have taken.
“If you’re looking at the direction that this country is going in, which is to crap, you cannot separate academia’s involvement from it. It is right there, core, right at the center of it. And we not only continue to subsidize it, we have people voluntarily allowing, actually paying for in some cases … their children to be indoctrinated by drag queens like that,” he says.
“And it ain’t just happening in Harvard,” he adds.
