![INTRODUCTION
Scientific advancement and the pursuit of knowledge fuel America's innovation,
economic success, and global leadership. The commitment to expanding human understanding is
foundational at American universities, including Harvard, the Nation's oldest institution of higher
learning. Since its founding nearly four centuries ago, Harvard's students, faculty, and researchers
have helped identify and solve some of society's most pressing problems. Those pathbreaking and
life-saving advancements are due in part to the longstanding collaboration between universities
such as Harvard and the federal Government dating back to the Second World War. Millions of
Americans are healthier and safer as a result. Federal funding has enabled researchers at Harvard
to develop novel drugs to fight Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, engineer nanofibers to protect servicemembers and first responders, support American astronauts in space, and design an
artificial intelligence system that can be used to diagnose and treat cancer.
2. In recent weeks, the federal Government has launched a broad attack on the critical
funding partnerships that make this invaluable research possible. To date, the Government has-
with little warning and even less explanation-slashed billions of dollars in federal funding to
universities across America, including Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, the University of
Pennsylvania, and Northwestern. This case involves the Government's efforts to use the
withholding of federal funding as leverage to gain control of academic decisionmaking at Harvard.
3. On April 11, 2025, citing concerns of antisemitism and ideological capture, the
Government identified ten conditions Harvard must satisfy to receive federal research funding
already committed to by the Government and relied on by Harvard, its researchers, and its affiliates
(the "April 11 Letter," attached as Exhibit A). Ex. A at 2, 4. The Government dictated that Harvard
"reform and restructur[e]" its…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wufsdxzvzx36d7wppganbvpw/bafkreifbb644x2isz4u5a2vkpmz2yqbrpznhyo4cl6sv4oosljip5dtrqy@jpeg)
![viewpoints of Harvard's student body, faculty, and staff. Id. at 3-4. Then, based on the results of this university-wide viewpoint audit, Harvard must "hir[e] a critical mass of new faculty" and
"admit[] a critical mass of students" to achieve "viewpoint diversity" in "each department, field, or teaching unit"-to the Government's satisfaction as determined in the Government's sole discretion. Id. And the Government has demanded that Harvard terminate or reform its academic
"programs" to the Government's liking. Id. at 4. All told, the tradeoff put to Harvard and other
universities is clear: Allow the Government to micromanage your academic institution or
jeopardize the institution's ability to pursue medical breakthroughs, scientific discoveries, and
innovative solutions.
4. Harvard is committed to "combatting antisemitism, one of the most insidious forms
of bigotry"' and to "broaden[ing] the intellectual and viewpoint diversity within [its] community."?
Harvard is actively undertaking structural reforms to do both. And while important steps have been
taken, Harvard acknowledges that there is still "much work to do." Harvard also fully recognizes
the requirement that it comply with all federal laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964.
5. But, as Harvard made clear last week in a letter to the Government (attached as
Exhibit B), "[njeither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by
the federal government." Ex. B at 2. In the words of Harvard's President, Alan M. Garber, "[the
' Alan M. Garber, Our Resolve, Harvard Univ.: Off. of the President (Mar. 31, 2025), https://perma.cc/4UC7-E65V.
2 Alan M. Garber, The Promise of American Higher Education, Harvard Univ.: Off. of the President (Apr. 14, 2025), https://perma.cc/L4G7-J8UB.
3 Garber, Our Resolve, supra n. 1.

![University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights."* "No
government—regardless of which party is in power-should dictate what private universities can
teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue."s
6. In response to Harvard's defense of its own constitutional freedoms, the federal
Government announced that it was freezing "$2.2 billion in multiyear grants and $60M in
multiyear contract value to Harvard University" (the "Freeze Order," attached as Exhibit C). Ex.
C at 2. Within hours of the Freeze Order, Harvard began receiving stop work orders. The freezing
of federal funds amounts to final agency action and has put vital medical, scientific, technological,
and other research at risk. And that risk is growing. Just yesterday, it was reported that the
Government is "planning to pull an additional $1 billion of [Harvard]'s funding for health research."6
7. Defendants'
actions are unlawful. The First Amendment does not permit the
Government to "interfere with private actors' speech to advance its own vision of ideological
balance," Moody v. NetChoice, 603 U.S. 707, 741 (2024), nor may the Government "rely] on the
'threat of invoking legal sanctions and other means of coercion….. to achieve the suppression' of disfavored speech," Nat'l Rifle Ass'n v. Vullo, 602 U.S. 175, 189 (2024) (citation omitted). The Government's attempt to coerce and control Harvard disregards these fundamental First
Amendment principles, which safeguard Harvard's "academic freedom." Asociacion de
Educacion Privada de P.R., Inc. v. Garcia-Padilla, 490 F.3d 1, 8 (1st Cir. 2007). A threat such as
