Harvard University faculty sued the Trump administration on Friday over a federal assessment of the school’s spending amid allegations of their “failure” to protect students from antisemitism. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and its campus chapter are both plaintiffs in the lawsuit which said failures were “unspecified” according to legal documents.

The suit by the Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors, filed in Massachusetts federal court, alleges that the administration's federal funding review violates the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

The elite research institution rejected a list of White House demands that it said would undermine its independence.
