In the wake of the government’s threats, Harvard has begun touting the life-changing impacts of its federally-funded research and how the Trump administration’s “unlawful” actions could impact not only the university’s employees and students,

The president of Harvard on Wednesday defended the university’s decision to sue the Trump administration, adding that the institution “cannot compromise” on core principles like the First Amendment. Harvard took legal action against the Trump administration on Monday over the government’s decision to freeze over $2 billion in federal funding meant for the university after it refused to make the reforms it ordered.
