Harvard Challenges Trump Administration Over Funding Cuts, Says He Lacks Authority.

Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that the freeze of over $2.2 billion in federal funding is unlawful and exceeds presidential authority.

The administration’s demands, including changes to governance and admissions policies, were rejected by Harvard, prompting the funding freeze.

Harvard argues that the move violates the First Amendment and threatens critical medical and scientific research.

The lawsuit seeks to restore funding and protect academic independence, highlighting the broader implications for higher education in the U.S.

The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court in Boston.
