A few days ago, in a move that attracted international attention, the White House threatened to strip Harvard University of US$2 billion (£1.5 billion) in federal funding, potentially revoke its tax-exempt status and even prevent it from enrolling international students if it didn’t capitulate to a new list of demands.

Jewish students reacted to news that Harvard was suing the Trump administration for withholding funds from the school over its refusal to meet demands.

Harvard University announced Monday its suing the Trump administration after the White House froze more than $2 billion worth of funding for the institution.
