Harvard is suing the Trump administration for imposing conservative woke based conditions on Harvard's funding.

In the complaint, Harvard accused the administration of unlawfully freezing billions in research funding to pressure the University into restructuring its governance, academic programs, and hiring practices. It argued that the freeze violates the First Amendment by “imposing viewpoint-based conditions on Harvard’s funding."

I hope more colleges follow through, if they all got together and pooled money this would be ideal.

I hope Idaho fights back to recover its $59 million that was lawfully granted by Congress.

USDA abruptly halts $59 million grant to University of Idaho April 16, 2025

The University of Idaho took a gut punch earlier this week when the U.S. Department of Agriculture abruptly terminated a $59 million grant, which would have pumped money to Gem State farmers to boost the marketing of most of the crops grown there.

The grant, which was the largest in school history, was canceled in a message sent by the USDA on Sunday. By Monday morning, university officials informed 26 employees they no longer had jobs, said Sanford Eigenbrode, a university-distinguished professor at the UI College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.

“That’s how they came to work on Monday. It’s not like you have three weeks to close this down. It was, ‘You are done,’ ” Eigenbrode said.

@ElwoodBlues 59M grant to plant potatoes? Idaho is a red state, they are just getting what they voted for.

@independentone Yep. It'll be interesting to see if UI fights the cancellation.
