Harvard University filed a federal lawsuit against Trump administration to stop billions of dollars in the proposed cuts.
The lawsuit filed on Monday is part of the hostility that grew last week when the elite institution rejected the list of requirements that the Trump administration was developed to stop diversity initiatives and fight anti -Semitism at school.
President Donald Trump has frozen $ 2.2 billion (1.7 billion pounds) as well as threatened Status released from taxation.
“The consequences of the government overcoming will be serious and prolonged,” Harvard President Alan M. Garber said in a letter from university.
The White House responded later on Monday in a statement.
“Federal aid sauce such as Harvard, which enriches them rudely overpayed bureaucrats with tax dollars from the fight against US families, are suitable for the end. Taxpayers are privileges, and Harvard does not meet the main conditions necessary for access to this privilege.
Mr. Harber said financing is freezing critical studies, including the study of baby cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
“In recent weeks, the Federal Government has launched a wide attack on critical partnerships that allow you to make it an invaluable study possible,” the school trial said.
“This case provides for the government’s efforts to use federal financing as leverage to control the decision -making in Harvard.”
In addition to financing, the Trump administration also threatened to record foreign students a few days ago.
Mr. Harber, who is Jewish, acknowledged that Harvard’s campus had problems with anti-Semitism, but stated that he had created operational groups to work with this problem. He said the university would release a report of two operational groups that considered anti -Semitism and anti -Muslim prejudice.
An excellent US university, located in Massachusetts, is not the only institution that faces federal dollars who play a negative role in financing new scientific breakthroughs.
The administration is aimed at other private ivy leagues, including the suspension of $ 1 billion at the University of Cornela and $ 510 million at Brown University.
Others, such as Colombian University, Epicenter Pra-Palestinian Protests on University Haradok last year agreed with some requirements After $ 400 million, federal funds were threatened.
Harvard requirements included approval by the government’s approved university curriculum, as well as hiring and admission. In response, Harvard released a brilliant letter, deflecting them.
“The university does not give its independence or abandon its constitutional rights,” Harvard’s lawyers said on April 14.
“Neither Harvard nor any other private university can afford to take over the federal government. Accordingly, Harvard will not accept the government’s terms as an agreement.”
Former US President Barack Obama, Harvard graduate, said he advocate University.
