US Court Weighs Trump Bid to Cut Harvard Funding
A federal appeals court heard arguments on whether the administration can terminate billions in grants to Harvard. The university argues the funding freeze is unlawful retaliation.
The United States administration asked an appeals court on Monday morning to let it terminate more than $2 billion in grants awarded to Harvard University. The move marks a key escalation in the president's broader campaign to reshape elite universities through funding leverage. The court's decision will determine whether the executive branch can withhold billions in federal research dollars to force ideological and policy changes at higher education institutions.
