The analysis of Harvard's finances from OpenTheBooks comes as the institution is suing the Trump administration over the freezing of its federal funds.
After refusing to comply with President Trump's executive directives on antisemitism, DEI, viewpoint diversity and more, the Trump administration pulled $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60 million in multi-year government contracts. The Trump administration has indicated the potential for further cuts as well if the school does not fold to the president's demands, and is also considering stripping Harvard's tax-exempt status.
Harvard's lawsuit against the Trump administration sets up a fight over higher education autonomy, with the university alleging in its suits against multiple federal agencies that the Trump administration's demands infringe on the school's right to educate and learn free of government coercion.
Harvard University did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on this story.
"America’s university system is still the envy of the world and maintaining that advantage is a matter of national security," OpenTheBooks CEO John Hart told Fox News Digital. "Harvard can lead the way in that process by rejecting totalitarian progressive fundamentalism and reviving America’s commitment to classical liberalism, true free speech, true science over ‘the science’ and rigorous, open debate."

"As a private university, they’re free to pursue any topic they like – as long as their campus stays within the confines of the Constitution – but that doesn’t automatically entitle them to our tax money," Hart added in his comments to Fox News Digital about the Ivy League school's finances.

"Harvard can revive its commitment to academic freedom by explaining why it’s receiving millions from China, and potentially Iran proxies, and why it’s spending tax dollars on far-Left research and race-based identity politics."
