Trump Administration Revokes Indiginous Grant From CA State University

PALM DESERT, CA — The Trump Administration defunded a $150,000 grant awarded to a California State University campus this week.

The National Endowment for the Humanities grant was awarded to CSU San Bernardino's Palm Desert campus for this project: "Inland Echoes: Empowering Inclusive Histories of California's Inland Empire and Coachella Valley in K-16 Education," News Channel 3 reported.

The grant had already been given, with its contract signed, when campus officials were told the grant was being revoked because it didn't align with the Trump administration's education goals and would be cut by the Department of Government Efficiency.

The news comes as President Donald Trump has canceled more than $1.5 billion in federal grant money, which has affected the California State University system and college campuses nationwide. The latest cuts dominating headlines were the ones Trump plans to make at Harvard University.

The Trump administration has asked federal agencies to cancel contracts with Harvard University worth about $100 million, intensifying the president’s clash with the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university.
