Harvard University sued the Trump administration Monday in a new escalation of the fight over institutional oversight, independence and federal funding for the Ivy League school.
University President Alan M. Garber said in a letter to the Harvard community that the administration’s recent actions — including a $2.2 billion federal funding freeze at Harvard, with even more money potentially on the line — “have stark real-life consequences for patients, students, faculty, staff, researchers, and the standing of American higher education in the world.”

“Make no mistake: Harvard rejects antisemitism and discrimination in all of its forms and is actively making structural reforms to eradicate antisemitism on campus,” the school’s lawsuit says. “But rather than engage with Harvard regarding those ongoing efforts, the Government announced a sweeping freeze of funding for medical, scientific, technological, and other research that has nothing at all to do with antisemitism and Title VI compliance.”
Well Harvard’s legal team has a pretty good chance of getting a one way ticket to CECOT if they don’t win.
“Harvard’s Legal Team” likely includes not only the best law professors in the world, but also all the alumni working pro bono.
Before Trump started cracking down on law firms, that may not have been the case, but they have nothing to lose now.
Well I agree they’d be great but they’re definitely not Yale.
That’s like saying “I’m sure The Eagles are great, but they’re definitely not The Steelers”
(That’s a handegg reference contrasting the Superb Owl champions and an arguably mediocre team from the same state)
