What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The White House asked the First Circuit Court to reinstate funding cuts to Harvard, arguing the district court lacked the authority to require the government to restore nearly $2.7 billion in research grants. The administration framed the dispute as a contractual matter stemming from termination letters issued in May 2025. Harvard, represented by Paul D. Clement, maintained its argument that the White House unlawfully revoked the funding.
