The US’s Harvard University on Monday approached the court against the administration of President Donald Trump. The university has alleged that the Trump government wants to control educational functioning by making political pressure on the university. Harvard has accused it of violating the constitutional rights of the university.
In fact, the Trump administration has banned Harvard $ 2.2 billion funding. Also, the university has also demanded that he should submit all the reports and drafts made on the anti -Jewish incidents on the campus after October 2023 to the government.
The administration wants the names of all the people who prepare these reports and make them available for the interview of federal officials.
Two groups of professors have also filed cases
Professors of Harvard University also filed a Federal District Court case of Massachusetts against the administration of President Donald Trump on 12 April.
Two groups of professors had filed this case against the threat of stopping the university fund. In fact, during that time the Trump administration was reviewing the $ 9 billion funds to Harvard University.
Harvard professors cited that Trump’s decision violates the first amendment (first amendment) of the US Constitution. Professors have alleged that cutting into university funds is a violation of freedom of expression.
The petition filed in the court has also demanded a stay on the decision of the Trump administration.
Charges on university- failed to stop hatred against Jews
Recently the Trump administration sent a letter to Harvard. In this letter, the university was asked to fulfill certain conditions. Failure to do so was threatened with the university’s federal funding.
The move behind the move claimed that prestigious institutions like Harvard had failed to stop anti-semitism (hatred against Jews). The administration alleged that there was discrimination against Jewish students and professors in the campus.
Funding to the university is very important for search search, student scholarship, and many science and medical projects.
Palestinian flag was hoisted in the university

The Trump administration took strict measures against Columbia University, canceling a grant of US $ 400 million (about 33 billion rupees). The administration also accused Columbia University of failing to stop the harassment of Jewish students.
The Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism of the US Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Department and General Service Administration took this action.
The Columbia University Judicial Board has also taken strict action against the students involved in the Hamilton Hall during the protests on Gaza.
