On Monday, Harvard university sued Donald Trump in a fight involving several other prestigious Universities where the president of US is trying to hold them down with threats of withdrawing federal funding.
On his side, Trump claims that these institutions engage in anti-Semitism.
Therefore, as a way to bring them to bow, he has threatened their budgets, tax-exempt status and the enrolment of foreign students.
However, Harvard in its might, has refused to bow to the pressure and sued the president.
Trump on the other hand , became annoyed at Harvard’s audacity to reject his administration’s supervision of the admissions and hiring practices as a result, he froze $2.2 billion in federal funding to Harvard.
“Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World’s Great Universities or Colleges.
“Harvard is a joke— teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds,” Trump said last week.
To this end, Harvard has sued for the freezing of fund to be declared unlawful and Trump’s administration be made to pay all its costs.
“Make no mistake: Harvard rejects anti-Semitism and discrimination in all of its forms and is actively making structural reforms to eradicate anti-Semitism on campus.
“But rather than engage with Harvard regarding those ongoing efforts, the Government announced a sweeping freeze of funding for medical, scientific, technological, and other research that has nothing at all to do with anti-Semitism,” Harvard stated in the lawsuit on Monday.
