Harvard Sues Over $2.2 B in Frozen Federal Grants

Harvard University filed suit after the Trump administration halted $2.2 billion in federal research funding, claiming the government illegally sought control over its admissions and hiring policies. Harvard says lost grants will hurt medical and climate studies for years.

What this means for you:
Graduate‑level research jobs and stipends could shrink, tightening an already fierce academic job market.
Breakthroughs in public‑health and green‑tech labs may slow, potentially delaying new treatments or clean‑energy spin‑offs.
A court ruling here will set precedent for how much sway future presidents have over university governance.
