Judge Rules Trump Administration Illegally Cut Harvard's $2.2 Billion in Grants

Judge Allison Burroughs ruled that freezing and terminating nearly $2.2 billion in federal research grants to Harvard violated the First Amendment and Title VI, and barred further retaliatory cuts.

Harvard and the AAUP's Harvard chapter with UAW locals brought two related suits challenging the decision to freeze and then terminate nearly $2.2 billion in federal grants to Harvard^[1]
Burroughs vacated and set aside the April-May 2025 freeze orders and termination letters, and barred any further terminations, freezes or stop-work orders in retaliation for Harvard's First Amendment rights or without complying with Title VI^[1]
The Harvard Gazette reported the court found the effort violated Harvard's First Amendment rights and ignored procedural requirements in federal law, and that the administration said it would appeal^[5]
Final judgment was entered on 20 October 2025; the government filed its appeal on 18 December, two days before its deadline, and Harvard received most of the funding owed during the appeal window^[4]
The First Circuit docketed the appeal as No. 25-2230; the government's brief was filed on 27 April 2026 and Harvard's on 22 July 2026, with amicus briefs from the Conference of Boston Teaching Hospitals and 21 states^[3]
Nearly 11,000 Harvard alumni joined the round of briefs backing the university^[2]
