Harvard University has initiated a lawsuit against President Trump's administration to challenge a federal freeze on over $2.2 billion in educational grants. This action follows the university's refusal to comply with what it deems illegal demands made by the government. Harvard's President Alan Garber expressed that the funding freeze is unlawful and lacks proper authority. The lawsuit highlights that the administration's rationale, linking funding cuts to alleged anti-Semitism and protests on college campuses, lacks evidence and relevance to the educational research and initiatives being targeted.
Harvard's lawsuit stated: "The Government has not and cannot identify any rational connection between antisemitism concerns and the medical, scientific, technological, and other research it has frozen..."
Harvard President Alan Garber said: "...we filed a lawsuit to halt the funding freeze because it is unlawful and beyond the government's authority."
