Harvard Sues Trump Administration Over Blocked Research Funding”
Washington, D.C. – Harvard University has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Trump administration in an attempt to stop funding cuts worth billions of dollars.
According to international media sources, the lawsuit claims that the government is using funding as a tool of coercion to interfere with Harvard’s academic independence. Harvard argues that the move is an attempt to pressure the institution into compromising its core values and scholarly freedom.
The university emphasized that halting the funding would significantly impact vital research into life-threatening diseases such as childhood cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. These critical studies, Harvard asserts, are essential for global medical advancement and public health.
The controversy stems from demands by the Trump administration for Harvard to allow a government-approved independent audit of its curriculum, hiring processes, and admissions data. When Harvard refused to comply, federal funding amounting to $2.2 billion was frozen.
