HARVARD LAWSUIT: A federal judge appeared to lean in favor of Harvard University during arguments today in its lawsuit over the Trump administration's cuts to the school's research funding.

Judge Allison Burroughs, who noted in court that she is Jewish, said she would aim to rule quickly in the case.

Harvard called the government’s rationale for cutting billions of dollars in federal funding illegal and “cooked up.”

Columbia University will pay $200 million over three years to the Trump administration to regain federal research funding frozen amid antisemitism concerns. An additional $21 million will settle EEOC investigations.

The Trump administration has continued to pressure the university despite continuing talks to settle a monthslong dispute over the federal government’s role in higher education.

Judge Allison Burroughs is a Harvard alum who heard arguments from lawyers representing the government and the university Monday morning. The Trump administration has said it intends to pull federal funding from Harvard, saying the university has not done enough to combat antisemitism in the wake of pro-Palestine protests last year.
