Harvard Professors Sue Trump Admin Over $9 Billion in Funding Cuts
Harvard professors are suing the Trump administration, alleging that a review of nearly $9 billion in federal funding is discriminatory and violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by suppressing free speech. This action follows a pattern of the administration targeting universities with pro-Palestine activism, including visa revocations and funding freezes. The lawsuit claims the funding review constitutes an unconstitutional attempt to coerce the university into silencing dissent and aligning with the administration’s political agenda. The professors seek a temporary restraining order to halt the review, arguing that it creates an untenable threat to the university’s operations.
