Attorneys for Harvard University have accused Donald Trump’s administration of having “cooked up” a bogus legal basis to pull $2.6 billion in federal funding from the nation’s oldest university.
In a court hearing on Monday, the university’s legal team accused the administration of “blatant, unrepentant” First Amendment violations with its list of demands to “address bias, improve viewpoint diversity, and end ideological capture,” including reviewing departments that “fuel antisemitic harassment.”
