Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for allegedly attempting to illegally cut billions in federal research funding. This move follows a freeze on funding amid disputes over the university's handling of antisemitism on campus. During a Boston court hearing, a government lawyer stated Harvard had not adequately addressed the issue, allowing for funding cuts. Judge Allison D. Burroughs expressed skepticism about the government's arguments, noting a lack of supporting documentation for their claims. Trump criticized the judge, calling her an automatic loss for the country.
The Trump administration froze multiple lines of federal research funding to Harvard earlier this year amid a fight over how the university has handled alleged antisemitism on campus.
Federal Judge Allison D. Burroughs reportedly appeared skeptical of the Trump administration's stance, at one point calling its argument 'a bit mindboggling'.
