The Trump administration just axed new federal research grants for Harvard University. The White House claims Harvard, with its "embarrassing" academic standards and alleged failure to tackle anti-Semitism, doesn't deserve taxpayer money, cutting off a vital funding stream.
Harvard, arguing the federal cuts are unfounded and politically motivated, has sued, stating there's no real link between anti-Semitism and halted research critical for American progress.
This move escalates the feud between Trump and the esteemed Ivy League, highlighting broader tensions between higher education institutions and federal oversight.
