Harvard funding fight goes to court

Top school accused of ‘anti-white bias’
-
US President Donald Trump on Thursday bashed Harvard as an “Anti-Semitic, Far Left Institution”, as the university battles his administration’s funding freeze in court.
The latest outburst from Mr Trump comes as his administration cracks down on US universities on several fronts, alleging widespread anti-Semitism, anti-white bias and the promotion of “gender ideology” by protecting trans students.
It has threatened several top-tier universities with funding freezes and other punishments, prompting concerns over declining academic freedom. It has also moved to revoke visas and deport foreign students involved in the protests, accusing them of supporting Palestinian militant group Hamas, whose Oct 7, 2023 attack on Israel provoked the war.
Harvard, which has seen billions in federal funding frozen after it rejected wide-ranging government oversight, filed suit against the Trump administration on Monday.
“The place is a Liberal mess,’ Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social, also complaining that the university has admitted students “from all over the World that want to rip our Country apart”.
