The United States of America v. Higher Education 

Harvard University’s lawsuit against the federal government deserves the support of the nation’s higher education community. It rebuts Washington’s attempt, beginning last April, to use research funding to change academic governance and programs. The case should have 4,000 amicus briefs from America’s post-secondary schools.  

After filing complaints against Harvard, the administration offered a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” to other universities but excluded Harvard.
