Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in response to a decision to freeze $2.2 billion in federal funding, arguing that the move represents an "unprecedented and improper" attempt to control the institution. The conflict arose after the administration demanded changes to Harvard's policies and leadership, as well as an audit for "viewpoint diversity," which the university refused, leading to the funding freeze and threats of further suspensions. Harvard President Alan Garber emphasized the importance of defending the university's autonomy and principles, highlighting the broader implications for academic freedom and government intervention in higher education.
