Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in U.S. District Court, claiming that the freeze on its research funding is unconstitutional and unlawful. The lawsuit aims to restore over $2.2 billion in previously approved research funding, arguing that the administration's actions violate federal laws and are politically motivated. Following Harvard's rejection of demands for governance changes, the Trump administration announced a funding freeze, which President Alan Garber described as an unprecedented control over the university's operations. Harvard seeks legal recourse to protect its funding and maintain academic independence.
Harvard's lawsuit challenges the Trump administration's funding freeze, arguing it infringes on First Amendment rights and seeks to restore over $2.2 billion in research funding.
President Alan Garber emphasized that the administration's demands for changes in governance and recruitment policies constituted an unprecedented encroachment on Harvard's autonomy.
