Harvard sues Trump admin over fund freeze

Harvard University said on Monday that it has filed a federal lawsuit against the Donald Trump administration's funding freeze, calling the action "unlawful and beyond the government's authority". In a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the university said this case involves "the government's efforts to use the withholding of federal funding as leverage to gain control of academic decision-making at Harvard".
