Harvard invokes First Amendment in US lawsuit over academic control

Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after a sudden $2.2 billion freeze on federal research funding. The university claims the action violates the US Constitution and federal law, including the First Amendment and Administrative Procedure Act. Legal experts cited by The Harvard Crimson say Harvard has a strong case, with implications for academic freedom and future government oversight of US universities. The case is expected to move quickly in federal court.
