"A federal judge in Boston ruled on Wednesday that the US President Donald Trump administration had unlawfully terminated more than $2 billion in grants awarded to Harvard University and could no longer cut off the university's research funding. US District Judge Allison Burroughs ruled in favor of the Ivy League school, deciding that the cuts were illegal retaliation for Harvard's rejection of the White House's demands for changes to its governance and policies."
US District Judge Allison Burroughs ruled on September 3, 2025 that the Trump administration unlawfully terminated more than $2 billion in federal grants awarded to Harvard University and ordered that the White House could not cut the university's research funding. The judge concluded the terminations amounted to illegal retaliation linked to Harvard's rejection of White House demands for governance and policy changes. The case centers on allegations that the administration sought to condition federal research support on institutional governance changes, a demand Harvard refused. The decision preserves Harvard's existing federal research grants and prevents further withholding of research funding while legal remedies proceed.
