Harvard University decided to sue the governmentPresident Donald TrumpBecause intentionally suspend the Federal Fund.
CBS News reported, April 21,Harvard Universitysaid, he filed a lawsuit against the court to accuse the US President Donald Trump’s administration intentionally froze the Federal funding worth billions of dollars.
Acting Principal Alan Garber said the Trump administration froze the initial funding worth 2.2 billion USD and then threatened to suspend only $ 1 billion.
The root of tensions between the two sides led to the aforementioned lawsuit was thought to be because Harvard refused to fulfill the requirements of the Trump administration on policies and personnel changes, including checking students’ political views as well as lecturers to ensure “diversity of views”.
After the school resolutely kept a stance, Mr. Trump administration not only suspended the funding of $ 2.2 billion, but Mr. Trump also proposed Harvard’s tax exemption.
In the letter to the Harvard community when announcing the lawsuit, Acting Principal Garber said that President Trump’s moves will bring serious consequences, affecting not only students, lecturers, staff of the school but also threaten patients, researchers and positions of American higher education in the international arena.
Harvard’s lawsuit stated that the Trump administration violated the school’s constitution when blocking the sponsorship flow, and alleged this behavior as part of the campaign to pressure Harvard to follow the government’s control over the curriculum.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has not yet made feedback before the media companies.
In the lawsuit, Harvard also accused the Trump administration not to comply with the mandatory legal process under the terms of the National Assembly before suspending the funding.
Cashews of the Civil Civil Code prohibited discrimination based on racism, skin color or national origin for funding programs from the Federation.
According to CBS News, Harvard is not the only university under pressure from the contemporary US government. Last month, the government threatened to cancel 400 million USD to finance Columbia University because the school intentionally ignored the situation of Jewish students being harassed.
The University of Cornell and Northwestern are also facing an $ 1.8 billion -dollar frozen frozen order for the same reason.
However, the conflict between Harvard and the Trump administration is said to be more fierce and public than other schools. In addition to stopping funding, the Trump administration also threatens to block this school for international students.
