Harvard Sues Over $2 Billion Federal Funding Freeze | JQJO

Harvard University is suing the federal government to overturn a $2 billion funding freeze. A Boston judge set a July 21st hearing to expedite the case. Harvard claims the freeze violates its First Amendment rights and disrupts vital research. The government alleges Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act due to alleged antisemitism on campus. The judge ordered the government to provide supporting documentation by May 19th, with briefs due in June. Harvard President Alan Garber stated the government's demands overstep their authority.
