Judge voids $2.2 billion Harvard funding freeze by Trump administration
- On September 3, Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the Trump administration to reinstate over $2.6 billion that had been withheld from Harvard University’s federal funding.
- The funding cuts followed Harvard's refusal to accept federal demands viewed as infringing upon its freedoms, which the judge ruled were retaliatory and not neutral enforcement.
- The dispute started in April when the administration suspended billions of dollars in research grants and tens of millions in contracts, citing concerns about antisemitism while insisting on reforms to Harvard’s leadership, admissions processes, and staffing policies.
- The White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt criticized Harvard for receiving more than $2 billion in funding despite its $50 billion endowment, while Harvard's President Alan Garber stated that the court decision supports academic freedom and protects First Amendment rights.
- Though the ruling restores funding, the Trump administration intends to appeal, creating uncertainty and making the case a key test of federal power over university independence.
