Trump Administration Targets Harvard
Digest more
Harvard University is in federal court in its ongoing battle with the Trump administration over more than $2 billon in government funding halted by the White House in spring.
Lawyers for the Trump administration sparred with Harvard, Planned Parenthood and the American Association of University Professors on Monday at Boston's Moakley Courthouse over funding, free speech and more.
“They’ve realized that they can take a bit of a step further, that they can advance their policy priorities through those levers they have through the state university system,” said Preston Cooper, a senior fellow who studies higher education policy at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
Attorneys for Harvard asked a federal judge Monday to prevent the Trump administration from withholding federal funds from the school. Hofstra University law professor James Sample explains.
