NEW YORK: President Donald Trump’s decision to cut $2 billion in funding to Harvard University has been overturned by a US judge, who described the action as a political assault masquerading as a campaign against racism and anti-Semitism at the Ivy League university.
In April, Harvard filed a lawsuit to recover almost $2 billion in cash that had been frozen. The administration claimed that Harvard’s apparent failure to protect Jewish and Israeli students, especially during campus protests against Israel’s assault in Gaza, made its action legally legitimate.
