Harvard Sues Trump Administration To Stop The Freeze Of More Than $2 Billion In Grants

15 weeks ago Harvard University has filed suit to halt a federal freeze on more than $2.2 billion in grants after recently announcing it would defy the Trump administration’s demands to limit activism on campus. The Trump administration had called in an April 11 letter to Harvard for broad government and leadership reforms at the university and admissions policy changes. Harvard President Alan Garber soon after said the university would not bend to the demands, and the U.S. government swiftly froze billions of dollars in federal funding. A White House spokesman said Monday after the suit was filed in federal court that Harvard has failed to meet basic conditions for receiving taxpayer funds.
