Trump administration unlawfully cut Harvard's funding, US judge rules

Trump administration unlawfully cut Harvard's funding, US judge rules

By Nate Raymond BOSTON (Reuters) -A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration unlawfully terminated about $2.2 billion in grants awarded to Harvard University and can no longer cut off research funding to the prestigious Ivy League school. The decision by U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston marked a major legal victory for Harvard as it seeks to cut a deal that could bring an end to the White House's multi-front conflict with the nation's oldest and richest university. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based school became a central focus of the administration's broad campaign to leverage federal funding to force change at U.S. universities, which Trump says are gripped by antisemitic and "radical left" ideologies. The administration cancelled hundreds of grants awarded to Harvard researchers on the grounds the school failed to do enough to address harassment of Jewish students on its campus. Harvard sued, arguing the Trump administration was retaliating against it in violation of its free-speech rights after it refused to meet officials' demands that it overhaul its governance, hiring and academic programs to align with their ideological agenda. Burroughs, an appointee of Democratic President Barack Obama, agreed, saying while Harvard had tolerated hateful behavior for too long, the Trump administration "used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country's premier universities." She said the administration's pressure campaign resulted in it terminating Harvard's grants without complying with the law and retaliating against the school in violation of its free speech rights under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment. Burroughs said it was the job of courts to safeguard academic freedom and "ensure that important research is not improperly subjected to arbitrary and procedurally infirm grant terminations, even if doing so risks the wrath of a government committed to its agenda no matter the cost." She barred the administration from terminating or freezing any additional federal funding to Harvard and blocked it from continuing to withhold payment on existing grants or refusing to award new funding to the school in the future. White House spokesperson Liz Huston in a statement vowed to appeal the ruling by an "activist Obama-appointed judge," saying Harvard "does not have a constitutional right to taxpayer dollars and remains ineligible for grants in the future." Harvard President Alan Garber in a message to the campus community said the ruling "validates our arguments in defense of the University's academic freedom, critical scientific research, and the core principles of American higher education." Garber did not mention the status of settlement talks with the administration, which Trump during a cabinet meeting last week said he wanted to see result in Harvard paying "nothing less than $500 million" as it had "been very bad." Garber said that even as the school acknowledged the key principles Burroughs' ruling affirmed, Harvard was going to be "mindful of the changing landscape in which we seek to fulfill our mission." Three other Ivy League schools have made deals with the administration, including Columbia University, which in July agreed to pay $220 million to restore federal research money that had been denied because of allegations the university allowed antisemitism to fester on campus. As with Columbia, the Trump administration took actions against Harvard related to the pro-Palestinian protest movement that roiled its campus and other universities in the wake of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and Israel's war in Gaza. Harvard has said it has taken steps to ensure its campus is welcoming to Jewish and Israeli students, who it acknowledges experienced "vicious and reprehensible" treatment following the onset of Israel's war in Gaza. The administration's decision to cancel grants was one of many actions it has taken against Harvard. It has also sought to bar international students from attending the school; threatened Harvard's accreditation status; and opened the door to cutting off more funds by finding it violated federal civil rights law. Burroughs in a separate case has already barred the administration from halting Harvard's ability to host international students, who comprise about a quarter of the school's student body. Harvard litigated the grant funding case alongside the school's faculty chapter of the American Association of University Professors, which opposes the idea of the institution cutting a deal with Trump. "We hope this decision makes clear to Harvard's administration that bargaining the Harvard community's rights in a compromise with the government is unacceptable," the group's lawyers, Joseph Sellers and Corey Stoughton, said in a statement.

Navy reverses demotion of Rep. Ronny Jackson, former White House doctor

Navy reverses demotion of Rep. Ronny Jackson, former White House doctor

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Ronny Jackson announced that the Navy has restored his retired rank of rear admiral, overturning a 2022 demotion that followed a scathing investigation that found major issues with his behavior while he was the top White House physician. The Texas Republican on Wednesdayposted a June 13 letter from Navy Secretary John Phelansaying he had reinstated Jackson to the retired rank of a one-star admiral following a "review of all applicable reports and references." The Navy confirmed the move, with a spokesperson for Phelan saying he "greatly appreciates Congressman Jackson's decades of distinguished naval service." The decision to restore Jackson's rank comes as the Pentagon has become increasingly transparent in offering benefits and consideration to those it sees as personally loyal supporters ofPresident Donald Trump, while those who are seen as unsupportive of Trump have been pushed out of senior roles across the military. Two weeks ago, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, who oversaw the intelligence agency that produced aninitial intelligence assessmentof U.S. damage to Iranian nuclear sites that angered Trump. Following his 2019 retirement from the Navy, Jackson was retroactively demoted followinga yearslong investigation into his behaviorwhen he was a physician to Trump and former President Barack Obama. An inspector general's report found that he made "sexual and denigrating" comments about a female subordinate, violated the policy on drinking alcohol on a presidential trip and took prescription-strength sleeping medication that prompted worries from his colleagues about his ability to provide proper medical care. Jackson gained notoriety for his over-the-top pronouncements about Trump's health during his first term. He was elected to Congress in 2020 following a failed effort in the first Trump administration to appoint him the secretary of Veterans Affairs in 2018. "I was, and still am, a retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral, and Joe Biden is a retired old FOOL," Jackson said on social media, where he has called himself an admiral despite his demotion. Last week, military officials revealed thatAshli Babbitt, the rioter who was killed by a police officer during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol,would be offered military funeral honors. Babbitt was a U.S. Air Force veteran from California who was shot and killed wearing a Trump campaign flag wrapped around her shoulders while trying to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker's Lobby inside the Capitol as rioters interrupted the counting of electoral votes certifying Trump's 2020 loss to Biden.
