Attorney General Bonta Files Amicus Brief to Protect Harvard from Unlawful Federal Research Funding Freeze
OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta, as part of a multistate coalition, filed an amicus brief in support of Harvard’s lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s unjustified and illegal decision to freeze and terminate more than $2 billion in federal research grant funding. The Trump Administration’s attacks come in retaliation for Harvard’s refusal to cave to the President's demands that the university restructure its internal governance, change its hiring and admissions practices, and modify what it teaches its students to align with the federal government’s views.
