MIT, Brown and 11 other schools sued the Trump administration Monday over attempts to cut federal research funding provided by the NSF.
The article from telegram.com, dated May 7, 2025, discusses a lawsuit filed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) against the Trump administration over significant cuts to university science funding. The cuts, part of a broader initiative to redirect federal funds, have led to a 30% reduction in research grants for universities across the U.S., severely impacting scientific research and innovation. MIT, along with other universities, argues that these reductions are unconstitutional and detrimental to national interests, particularly in fields like climate science and medical research. The lawsuit seeks to restore the funding and halt further cuts, emphasizing the long-term negative effects on America's global competitiveness and technological advancement.
