Harvard University achieved a historic victory in its legal battle with the Trump administration. A federal judge supported the university's efforts to restore over $2 billion in federal research funding that had been frozen by the White House.
White House spokesperson Liz Houston claims that Harvard is not entitled to funding due to failing to ensure the safety of its students and allowing discrimination on campus. However, the judge disagrees.
Donald Trump also threatened severe penalties for educational institutions and students for participating in protests. Additionally, the administration prohibited Harvard from accepting foreign students, but this ban was overturned in court.
Following the tensions between Harvard and the Trump administration, the university was able to restore its federal research funding of over $2 billion. The court also rejected the ban on accepting foreign students, allowing the university to maintain its international academic community.
