Harvard Asks Judge for Fast Ruling in US Funding Freeze Case

Harvard University lawyers urged a federal judge to rule quickly that the Trump administration’s freeze on about $2.6 billion in federal funding is illegal and that it violated the school’s free speech and regulatory rights.

In a court filing Monday, Harvard argued that the US has not produced enough evidence to show that the administration’s action was a legally justified response to address antisemitism and a perceived liberal bias on campus.
