Harvard Sues Trump Admin for Freezing Federal Funds

HeadlineApr 22, 2025

Harvard University is suing the Trump administration after it froze over $2 billion in federal grants for the Ivy League institution. The freeze came after Harvard refused to comply with the White House’s order on eliminating DEI and further suppressing pro-Palestinian protests. Harvard President Alan Garber said the cuts would affect key research on pediatric cancer, veterans’ health, infectious disease, as well as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Garber warned, “The consequences of the government’s overreach will be severe and long-lasting.”
