The judge canceled the cuts in funds for Harvard University. By decision, it helped to fight against Trump’s government and to restore research funding.
The US federal judge on Wednesday ordered the abolition of more than $ 2 billion in funding for research grants for Harvard University ordered by President Donald Trump’s government. According to the AP report, TASR reports this.
Judge Allison Burroughs decided that cuts were unlawful retaliation for this prestigious university refused the White House’s requirements for changes in its management and politics.
Victory for Harvard
According to the US news agency, this decision brings a victory for the university in her struggle with Trump’s administration, which also tried to prevent the school from accepting foreign students.
Representatives of Trump’s government and Harvard University outside the Court of Justice discussed a possible agreement that would terminate the investigation and enabled the university to regain access to federal funding. Trump said he wanted Harvard to pay at least $ 500 million, but there has been no agreement yet, although the administration concluded an agreement with Colombian and Brown University.
University charges
Harvard’s University, in the lawsuit, blames Trump’s administration from a retaliatory campaign against the University after refusing a series of requirements in the letter of the federal work team to combat anti -Semitism from April 11.
Harvard President Alan M. Garber described the government’s demands as “an unlawful attempt to control the basic aspects of the functioning of our university”. He claims that the school is impartial and took steps to root out anti -Semitism on academic soil.
