For these grants to be re-issued, a senior Education Department official said Harvard 'would have to enter into a negotiation with the government to satisfy what the government says is in compliance with all federal laws.'

Education, properly a drawing forth, implies not so much the communication of knowledge as the discipline of the intellect, the establishment of the principles, and the regulation of the heart.

Instruction is that part of education which furnishes the mind with knowledge. Teaching is the same, being simply more familiar. It is also applied to practice; as, teaching to speak a language; teaching a dog to do tricks.

'The Trump administration won't stand by as taxpayer dollars are used to support colleges that tolerate anti-Semitism or that support racist policies,' the official continued during a call with reporters Monday night.

Ackman, the founder and CEO of Pershing Square, made similar arguments on Tuesday, when he said Harvard should not be entitled to taxpayer funds when the school wastes money on what he calls 'administrative bloat'  'They have lost all future grants, their tax exemptions are at risk,' Ackman said on a panel at the Milken Institute Global Conference where 5,000 financiers, educators and scientists gather to discuss critical issues of the day. He then again hit out at the school's governing board, saying it has become insular and that there is no mechanism to remove members the way there is in corporate America where investors can run board challenges.
