Harvard University is in federal court Monday to make the case that President Donald Trump’s administration illegally cut $2.6 billion from the storied college. It's a pivotal moment in the school's battle against the federal government.
If U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs decides in the university’s favor, the ruling would reverse a series of funding freezes that later became outright cuts as the administration escalated its fight with the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university. Such a ruling, if it stands, would revive Harvard’s sprawling scientific and medical research operation and hundreds of projects.
