Harvard expands lawsuit after Trump terminates another $450 million in grants
|
[IsraelTimes] Complaint argues US gov’t cannot identify ‘any rational connection between antisemitism concerns and the medical, scientific, technological and other research’ grants it froze or canceled
Harvard University expanded its lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s moves to cut off billions of dollars in federal funding to the Ivy League school on Tuesday after officials said they are terminating an additional $450 million in grants.
Harvard filed the amended complaint in federal court in Boston hours after a federal antisemitism task force announced that eight government agencies were canceling additional grants on top of the $2.2 billion in funding US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
’s administration had already terminated.
The task force, which includes representatives from agencies including the US departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Justice, did so after accusing the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based school of failing to confront "pervasive race discrimination and antisemitic harassment plaguing its campus."
In response, Harvard expanded a lawsuit it first filed on April 22 after the administration froze the initial $2.2 billion to cover those latest research-grant terminations, which came from agencies including the US departments of Defense and Energy as well as the National Science Foundation.
The revised complaint also now challenges a decision by the administration announced in a letter from Education Secretary Linda McMahon
 ...business executive, and former professional wrestling performer. She was the 25th administrator of the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019. McMahon has been nominated to lead the Department of Education under the second Trump administration. McMahon, along with her husband, Vince McMahon, founded sports entertainment company Titan Sports, Inc. (later World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) where she worked as the president and later CEO from 1980 to 2009. During this time, the company grew from a regional business in the northeast to a large multinational corporation. She made occasional on-screen performances, most notably in a feud with her husband that culminated at WrestleMania X-Seven. In 2009, she left World Wrestling Entertainment to run for a seat in the United States Senate from Connecticut as a Republican, but lost to Richard Blumenthal in the 2010 general election. She was the Republican nominee for Connecticut's other Senate seat in the 2012 race, but lost to Chris Murphy because that's the kind of guy people in Connecticutt like best. ...
last week to freeze billions of dollars in future research grants and other aid until the nation’s oldest and wealthiest college concedes to the administration’s demands.
Harvard argues the administration’s sweeping demands violate the free speech guarantees of the US Constitution’s First Amendment. It says the massive funding freeze is overly broad and was instituted without following proper procedures.
They do have the right to speak hatefully. There are two caveats, though:
1. It is illegal for Harvard as an institution to not only allow, but to foster an environment where students, instructors, and support staff of the Jewish faith and the intersecting but not fully overlapping set of all those students, instructors, and support staff who support Israel (Zionists)are physically and verbally harassed and discriminated against, and
2. The federal government is forbidden to give federal funds to an institution that breaks such laws.
The ball’s in your court, O Harvard. "The government has not identified — and cannot identify — any rational connection between antisemitism concerns and the medical, scientific, technological, and other research it has frozen or terminated," the lawsuit said.
See above. They don’t have to identify a connection, merely the lawbreaking. And Harvard never stopped breaking the laws against discrimination — Jews/Zionists being only the most violent of its manifestations — though the justification has changed over the years. Harvard is asking US District Judge Allison Burroughs to declare the administration’s actions unlawful and block the grant terminations. She previously scheduled arguments in the case for July 21.
Trump has targeted Harvard,
…only one of the first of many, not the only — Harvard does pride itself on setting precedents, after all… citing allegations of antisemitism on campus during pro-Paleostinian protests against Israel over the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
with Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...
, which sparked the fighting with its October 7, 2023, terror onslaught.
Trump has alleged pro-Paleostinian protesters are antisemitic and sympathetic to Hamas. Protesters, including some Jewish groups, say the government wrongly conflates their criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza with antisemitism and their advocacy for Paleostinian rights with support for extremism.
The protesters are lying. Blatantly. Have the small numbers of actual Jews among them not heard of self-hating Jews ? The Trump administration has moved to cancel funding after announcing in late March it was launching a review of about $9 billion in grants and contracts with Harvard. Trump has also threatened to strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status.
Harvard in its complaint said it is committed to combating antisemitism and has taken steps to ensure its campus is safe and welcoming to Jewish and Israeli students. It said the administration’s actions are a threat to academic freedom.
Harvard has a $53 billion endowment, the largest of any US university, but the funds are often restricted and used for things like financial aid and scholarships.
