The Trump administration announced Monday that it would freeze $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60 million in multi-year contract value at Harvard University after the school said it would not follow policy demands from the administration.

A letter sent to Harvard on Friday by the Trump administration demanded that the university make a series of policy changes in order to continue to receive federal funding.

Professors say the threat to cut billions in federal funding for the university violates free speech and other First Amendment rights. The post Harvard professors sue Trump administration over threat to cut funding appeared first on Boston.
