Harvard University takes legal action against Trump administration in a bid to prevent the reduction of federal funding.

Harvard University has taken legal action by filing a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration in order to prevent significant proposed cuts amounting to billions of dollars. This decision follows the prestigious institution’s refusal to adhere to a list of demands issued by the White House, which Harvard claims would compromise its independence. The lawsuit forms part of a broader attack by Trump on the funding of leading universities, as he aims to address concerns surrounding alleged antisemitism and ideological imbalances within these institutions.
