Harvard Battles Trump Administration In Court Over Canceled Funding

23 hours ago Harvard University has taken the Trump administration to federal court over $2.6 billion in funding cuts. Harvard argues the cuts were illegal and retaliatory after the school rejected demands from a federal antisemitism task force. A ruling in Harvard’s favor could reverse funding freezes and revive its extensive scientific and medical research projects. The Trump administration denies the cuts were made in retaliation, saying the grants were under review even before the April demand letter was sent. It argues the government has wide discretion to cancel contracts for policy reasons.
