Cambridge, April 22, 2025 — Harvard University has sued the Trump administration over threats to freeze federal funding, arguing that the move is politically motivated and unlawful. The university claims the funding threat is based on disagreements with its policies and practices, not legal or financial issues, and seeks a ruling to prevent future funding cuts.
The lawsuit stems from the administration’s response to Harvard’s stance on national policies and its support for academic freedom. University officials argue that these actions aim to suppress dissent and interfere with higher education, calling for the protection of the institution’s autonomy and financial stability.
