Harvard Sues Trump Administration Over $2.2 Billion Funding Freeze
Harvard sued the Trump administration in federal court on Monday over
its multibillion dollar cuts to the University's research funding,
accusing the White House of undertaking an arbitrary and
unconstitutional campaign to "punish Harvard for protecting its
constitutional rights."
The move comes just one day after the Trump administration reportedly
planned to cut another $1 billion in federal grants and contracts from
Harvard, on top of an existing $2.2 billion cut that was announced
last week.
And it sets in motion a historic legal clash as Harvard attempts to
combat the Trump administration's devastating multi-agency campaign to
slash the University's funding in exchange for deep concessions --
including federal audits of Harvard's programs, agreements to screen international students for their beliefs, and the installation of administrators who will ensure the White House's demands are carried
out.
