Trump vs. Harvard fires up

The Trump administration and Harvard University face a new round of court arguments this week, continuing their appeals-court dispute over federal research grants and restrictions on Harvard’s ability to enroll international students. The case centers on the administration’s attempt to freeze more than $2 billion in federal research funding and a separate ruling that blocked it from restricting international enrollment. According to the report, during a Monday hearing in the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, judges questioned whether administration officials followed proper Title VI civil-rights procedures when Harvard argued the moves were retaliation over campus antisemitism concerns. The administration is also urging that the dispute be handled in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, which could affect access to frozen funds.
