Harvard sues Trump administration over US federal funding cuts of more than USD 2 billion: What we know so far

Harvard University on Monday filed a lawsuit against the President Donald Trump-led US administration following the suspension of federal funding of more than USD 2.2 billion in grants and a push for increased government oversight of the private university. As per reports, the 51-page lawsuit was filed in Boston federal court, urging a judge to overturn the funding freeze. Harvard contends that the move is both "unlawful" and exceeds the legal authority granted to the federal government. The legal action comes after Harvard publicly declared it would not comply with the administration's demands to curb campus activism and overhaul university policies.
