Tonkon Torp Sues DOGE over Humanities Funding Cuts
- On May 15, a lawsuit was filed in Portland by Oregon Humanities and the national coalition of state humanities organizations, challenging alleged improper cuts to federally approved funding made by the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency.
- The suit challenges DOGE's permanent cancellation of all 2025 National Endowment for the Humanities grants, despite Congress appropriating $207 million for 2024 funding.
- Oregon Humanities asserts the administration lacks authority to cut funding Congress allocated, as Congress holds exclusive power over federal spending under the Constitution.
- The NEH stated on April 24 it canceled awards, including those on diversity and environmental justice, that conflicted with agency priorities, calling some grants unlikely to inspire public confidence.
- The plaintiffs seek a court injunction to restore full NEH funding and obligate the administration to spend all congressionally appropriated amounts, highlighting threats to national humanities support.
