WASHINGTON (June 21, 2025)- Lawyers for Harvard University argue today in Boston federal court over the federal government’s freeze of more than $2 billion in grants and contracts for the university.
Harvard claims the pausing is illegal and should be reversed. NPR reports that the Trump administration has said it froze the funding because Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by failing to address antisemitism on campus.
For more context on the matter, please consider Paul Schiff Berman, Walter S. Cox Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School. Professor Berman is one of the world’s foremost theorists on the interactions among legal systems. Professor Berman is an expert on the constitution and administrative law.
