Excerpt:
Donald Trump has threatened to withhold billions in federal funding from Harvard University because the institution has let antisemitism run rampant on its campus. Did Harvard react by vowing to crack down on hate? No, instead they’re suing the administration for the taxpayer-funded money, which they somehow feel they’re entitled to.
As I’ve asked before, they have a $53 billion endowment—how about they mirror Hillsdale College and refuse federal money? Then they can teach whatever garbage they want.
Instead, they seem to be saying, we should be able to promote whatever woke agenda that we desire, and you should be forced to pay for it:
“Moments ago, we filed a lawsuit to halt the funding freeze because it is unlawful and beyond the government’s authority.” – President Alan Garber https://t.co/F65kW4GaL1

It looks like we’re in for a long, nasty battle:
Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its “unlawful” multibillion dollar freeze of research funding to the university.
“Moments ago, we filed a lawsuit to halt the funding freeze because it is unlawful and beyond the government’s authority,” Harvard President Alan Garber wrote in a post on X.
The move comes just one day after the Trump administration planned to cut another $1 billion in federal grants and contracts to the university, according to the Wall Street Journal, which is in addition to the $2.2 billion freeze that was announced last week.
In response to the lawsuit, a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Harvard’s “gravy train of federal assistance” is coming to an end.
