Harvard University says it has started receiving notices that many federal grants halted by the Trump administration will be reinstated after a federal judge ruled that the cuts were illegal.
It’s an early signal that federal research funding could begin flowing to Harvard after months of deadlock with the White House, but it’s yet to be seen if money will arrive. The government has said it will appeal the judge’s decision.
Reinstatement notices have started arriving from several federal agencies, but so far no payments have been received, Harvard spokesperson Jason Newton said late Wednesday. “Harvard is monitoring funding receipts closely,” Newton said.
A federal judge in Boston last week ordered the government to reverse more than $2.6 billion in cuts, saying they were unconstitutional and “used antisemitism as a smokescreen” for an ideological attack.
The Trump administration started cutting federal research grants from Harvard in April after the Ivy League school rebuffed a list of wide-ranging demands from the government in a federal investigation into campus antisemitism. Harvard challenged the cuts in court, calling them illegal government retaliation.
Harvard has been President Donald Trump's top target in his campaign to reshape higher education, which has resulted in settlements with Columbia and Brown universities to end federal investigations and restore federal money cut by the Trump administration.

I have my serious doubts that Trump is ready to roll over for this bunch of arrogant pricks.
It was a BS ruling. The US taxpayer is not legally obligated to fund the America hating a-holes. I hope Trump drags this out as long as he possibly can.
No organization, no person should ever be given direct money from government, for any reason. At any time.
Well said.
The Ivies don’t need a dime of tax money.
Budget is coming up. Use your veto pen. Stop signing whatever Congress puts in front of you. Sheesh
Trump will cave...
Anyone else have a problem with the government giving our tax dollars to an institution that has a $52 billion endowment fund?
But you hate Trump
I know. He has made it very clear that he sees a shutdown as a failing of his so he’ll do whatever it takes to keep the government open on his watch. Everyone knows this but the best and most surefire why to get control of the budget is to veto all the crap they keep putting in.
$1 a month sounds about right....
“The Ivies don’t need a dime of tax money.”
Tax the endowments. Remove tax exempt status for colleges and make donations to endowments taxable. Simple vote by congress can change this.
Penny roll check dime roll check nickle roll check...............
No just you...I disagree with some of the things Trump does but I respect him, just not you.
Your Schtick gets old and you know it.
You stink....
