A U.S. judge is holding a hearing to determine whether to approve a deal between the Justice Department and Boeing, allowing the planemaker to avoid prosecution for a criminal fraud charge related to two fatal 737 Max crashes. Family members of the 346 victims are objecting to the agreement, which would release Boeing from oversight by an independent monitor, deeming it insufficient.

The judge found that the administration failed to demonstrate a non-retaliatory basis for the grant terminations, which included demands related to university ideology and pedagogy. Despite the ruling, the White House and the Education Department expressed disagreement, maintaining Harvard’s ineligibility for future grants and criticizing the university’s handling of discrimination issues.
