Trump Faces Lawsuit From Harvard Over $2 Billion Funding Freeze And Alleged Unconstitutional Pressure To Reshape University Policies

Harvard University filed a federal lawsuit Monday against the Trump administration, according to Bloomberg. The university accused the administration of unlawfully freezing over $2 billion in research funding and threatening nearly $1 billion more after the school rejected demands to overhaul policies on governance, hiring, and diversity. The lawsuit claims the government’s actions are unconstitutional and exceed its authority. Trump escalated the confrontation by threatening Harvard’s tax-exempt status and accusing the university of allowing antisemitic activity.
