Description

Harvard University; private university that refused Trump administration demands, had $2.2B in funding frozen, and won a court ruling against the freeze

Background

Harvard University is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 2025, the Trump administration froze $2.2 billion in federal funding after Harvard refused demands that included eliminating diversity programs, permitting viewpoint-diversity audits, and restricting student groups. Harvard sued, arguing the conditions violated the First Amendment and exceeded lawful authority, and a federal judge found the funding freeze unconstitutional.
