Trump administration takes first steps to restore Harvard’s funding, but money isn’t flowing yet

A federal judge ruled the Trump administration's $2.6 billion funding cuts to Harvard unconstitutional, ordering their reinstatement amid allegations of using antisemitism as a pretext.

  • In June, a federal judge blocked the government's move to restrict Harvard from enrolling international students after the university sued over funding cuts.
  • The funding reductions began in April after Harvard declined extensive government requests related to an inquiry concerning allegations of antisemitism on campus.
  • A federal judge in Boston ruled that the government must undo more than $2.6 billion in funding reductions, deeming the cuts unconstitutional and criticizing the use of antisemitism as a pretext for a politically motivated attack.
  • Harvard has started receiving notices from federal agencies about reinstated grants, but no payments have arrived, and the government plans to appeal the ruling.
  • President Trump demands Harvard pay at least $500 million as part of any funding restoration deal, but such an agreement has not yet been reached.
