Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the Trump administration is prepared to step up its crackdown on Harvard if the Ivy League university continues operating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs that violate federal law.

Appearing on the latest episode of the Pod Force One podcast, McMahon said Harvard remains on notice as the administration continues its push to root out what it considers unlawful discrimination in higher education.

"Having always the hammer, if you will, of investigation, of losing federal funding for research and programs, as well as having lawsuits potentially brought by the Department of Justice are certainly things that they bear in mind as well," she said.

Since returning to the White House, President Donald Trump has made eliminating DEI programs at colleges and universities a key priority.

His administration has launched investigations into Harvard over alleged antisemitism and race-based admissions practices, while the Justice Department has sued the university for allegedly withholding admissions data.

The White House also sought to revoke $2.2 billion in federal grants to Harvard after determining the university was not complying with federal civil rights laws. A federal judge later ordered the funding restored, and the Trump administration has appealed the ruling.

McMahon said the administration has no desire to deprive universities of critical research funding but made clear that compliance with federal law is nonnegotiable.

"It is not the goal or the desire of the federal government to take away that funding, because our research universities provide an unbelievable amount of very effective and good research and invention for the country," she said.

"We want to make sure that that research can continue, but they just need to know that they're going to have to operate within the confines of the law to do that," McMahon added.

She also suggested some universities are attempting to preserve DEI initiatives by simply changing their names.

"It is my sincere hope that many of them have seen the error in doing that," McMahon said. "What we have seen as a result of a lot of the action that we have taken is there have been civics institutes set up on many of the campuses where civics is taught, history of our country is taught, and less of the ideology."

Still, McMahon said she remains skeptical.

"However, if I'm looking at it objectively, I would bet that there are many who have just changed the name and maybe given it enough window dressing that it's passed muster for the time being," she said.

Conservative legal groups have alleged Harvard continues operating taxpayer-funded DEI programs despite the administration's directives.

Trump administration officials have pointed to schools including Columbia University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as examples of universities that have rolled back DEI initiatives or related policies after facing federal pressure.

McMahon, who led WWE before serving in Trump's first administration, also joked about her transition from professional wrestling to Washington.

"I've actually not been turned upside down and made to look as though I landed on my head yet, but there is a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, that is for sure," she said.

Lawrence Summers, the former Treasury secretary and president of Harvard University, has lost his affiliation with the National Bureau of Economic Research over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The economics organization told the Journal that an ad hoc committee reviewed Summers' conduct and recommended the termination.

Summers was a research associate with the NBER.

"He is no longer an NBER affiliate," wrote NBER president James Poterba in an email to the Journal.

The NBER is considered one of the premier research organizations for academic economists, the Journal said.

Many recent Nobel Prize-winning economists are affiliated with the organization.

Summers is listed as an author on 143 NBER working papers and other publications, many of which went on to be published in top economics journals, the Journal reported.

The release of Justice Department files related to the New York financier showed Summers had a long relationship with Epstein, even after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Summers' ties to Epstein have forced him to resign from teaching and leadership positions at Harvard, and he was banned for life by the American Economic Association.

The emails include messages in which Summers appeared to be getting advice from Epstein about pursuing a romantic relationship with someone who viewed him as an "economic mentor."

"im a pretty good wing man, no?" Epstein wrote on Nov. 30, 2018.

The next day, Summers told Epstein he had texted the woman, telling her he "had something brief to say to her."

"Am I thanking her or being sorry re my being married. I think the former," he wrote.

Summers' wife, Elisa New, also emailed Epstein multiple times, including a 2015 message in which she thanked him for arranging financial support for a poetry project she directs.

The gift he arranged "changed everything for me," she wrote.

"It really means a lot to me, all financial help aside, Jeffrey, that you are rooting for me and thinking about me," she wrote.

The former Harvard president said he regrets his relationship with Epstein.

"I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused," Summers said last year.

Andrew Carnegie Foundation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Carnegie_Foundation

The Andrew Carnegie Foundation is a private foundation established by Andrew Carnegie in 1911 "to promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding."[3] In June 2026, the foundation changed its name from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to better reflect its mission.

History

Founding and early years

Corporation strategies changed over the years but remained focused on education, although the trust did also increasingly fund scientific research, convinced that the nation needed more scientific expertise and "scientific management". It also worked to build research facilities for the natural and social sciences. The corporation made large grants to the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council, the Carnegie Institution of Washington, the National Bureau of Economic Research, Stanford University's now-defunct Food Research Institute^[9] and the Brookings Institution, then became interested in adult education and lifelong learning, an obvious follow-on to Carnegie's vision for libraries as "the university of the people". In 1919 it initiated the Americanization Study to explore educational opportunities for adults, primarily for new immigrants. After Carnegie died in 1919, the trustees elected a full-time salaried president as the trust's chief executive officer and ex officio trustee. For a time the corporation's gifts followed the patterns Carnegie had already established.
