Appeals Court Weighs Judge's Authority to Restore Trump Administration Funding Cuts to Harvard
The administration says Harvard failed to protect Jewish students and ignored 10 demands, after freezing about $2.2 billion in grants.
- On Monday, the Trump administration asked the First Circuit Court of Appeals to revive its effort to terminate more than $2.6 billion in federal grants awarded to Harvard University, challenging a district court's previous restoration of the funding.
- Last year, District Judge Allison Burroughs restored the funding, ruling the administration's termination was illegal retaliation against Harvard for rejecting a federal list of 10 policy demands regarding campus governance and diversity programs.
- Justice Department attorney Michael Velchik asserted the case belongs in the Court of Federal Claims, while Harvard attorney Paul Clement argued the lawsuit properly addresses broader issues of government retaliation and discrimination.
- First Circuit Judge Sandra Lynch and other panel members questioned the government's claim that Harvard failed to address campus antisemitism, though the court did not immediately rule on the administration's request.
- This appeal is part of a wider administration campaign to reshape elite universities through civil rights investigations, threats to tax-exempt status, and attempts to restrict international student access, impacting schools across the Ivy League.
