The Trump administration has frozen $2.3 billion in federal funding to Harvard University after the school refused to comply with directives targeting diversity and inclusion programs. The funding cut comes after Harvard's announcement that it would not comply with the administration's demands on campus protests, diversity programs, and campus antisemitism. Attorneys representing Harvard claim that the demands are illegal and beyond the administration's authority. The dispute highlights the escalating tensions between the federal government and elite universities over campus policies and civil rights compliance.
