Harvard University is suing the Trump administration for threatening to freeze $2.2 billion in federal funding unless the school complies with certain demands, arguing this is unlawful and violates its First Amendment rights. The lawsuit claims the administration’s actions aim to control academic decision-making and threaten vital research, while also failing to follow required procedures under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Harvard’s President Alan Garber stated that the university will not relinquish its independence, emphasizing the adverse impact these actions have on education and research.
