Judge says Trump administration unlawfully blocked almost R36-billion from Harvard

# A federal judge gave Harvard University a landmark victory in its fight against the Trump administration, siding with the Ivy League school in its effort to restore almost 36-billion-rand in federal funding for research frozen by the White House. The decision rejects the administration’s argument that it was targeting the university due to antisemitism on the school’s campus. The decision is a major victory for Harvard, the only university targeted by the Trump administration to take on the White House in court. The White House meanwhile indicated it will appeal.
