In a high-stakes legal battle, Harvard University is challenging the Trump administration in court over a controversial funding freeze that has affected billions in federal grants. The heart of the dispute involves $2.6 billion in funding cuts that Harvard claims are illegal and linked to political motivations, including allegations of antisemitism on campus. During the recent hearings, a federal judge expressed skepticism about the justification provided by the Department of Justice for the funding cuts. As both sides present their arguments, the outcome could have significant implications for federal funding allocated to higher education institutions.
