Harvard University sued the Trump administration on Monday in a bid to halt a freeze on more than $2.2 billion in federal grants in a major escalation of the battle between America’s top universities and the Republican government. The Trump administration has launched a broad attack on funding for major universities, arguing that they allowed anti-Semitism to go unchecked at campus protests last year against Israel’s war in Gaza.
