"U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs sided with the Ivy League school, ruling the cuts amounted to illegal retaliation for Harvard's rejection of White House demands for changes to its governance and policies."
"Beyond the courthouse, the Trump administration and Harvard officials have been discussing a potential agreement that would end investigations and allow the university to regain access to federal funding. President Donald Trump has said he wants Harvard to pay no less than $500 million, but no deal has materialized even as the administration has struck agreements with Columbia and Brown."
"The letter demanded sweeping changes related to campus protests, academics and admissions. It was meant to address government accusations that the university had become a hotbed of liberalism and tolerated anti-Jewish harassment on campus."
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs ordered reversal of cuts that removed more than $2.6 billion in research funding to Harvard, finding the reductions were illegal retaliation after Harvard rejected White House demands for governance and policy changes. The decision reverses funding freezes and cuts and could revive Harvard’s research operation and hundreds of projects that lost federal money. The Trump administration and Harvard have discussed a possible agreement to end investigations and restore funding, with President Trump seeking at least $500 million. The dispute followed an April 11 letter from a federal antisemitism task force demanding sweeping campus changes.
