Harvard sues Trump administration to stop the freeze of more than $2 billion in grants

Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to lift a freeze on over $2.2 billion in federal grants. The freeze was implemented after the administration directed Harvard to change its campus policies regarding activism, admissions, and diversity. Harvard President Alan Garber affirmed the university's refusal to comply with these demands, stating that Harvard's core values are paramount, which led to the lawsuit as a defense of its independence and mission.

Harvard President Alan Garber emphasized the university's commitment to maintaining its values, stating, 'We will not bend to the government’s demands, no matter the consequences.'

In response to the Trump administration's demands, Garber indicated, 'The university's integrity and independence are essential to our mission, and we will not sacrifice them for funding.'
