The Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Oregon Council for the Humanities are suing President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to reverse significant funding cuts to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The lawsuit, filed in Portland, calls attention to the halting of grants which support crucial cultural and educational institutions. The plaintiffs argue that these cuts jeopardize the federal-state partnership established by Congress, which has historically facilitated the distribution of millions in humanities funding across the nation.
Federal dollars from NEH flow through the state and jurisdictional humanities councils to community organisations in nearly every county in the country.
The lawsuit seeks to undo the disruption and attempted disruption, spearheaded by Doge, of the congressionally established federal-state partnership between the NEH and the jurisdictional humanities councils.
