Grants Cancelled Over Political Keywords | Fresno News

Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description

UC researchers are suing the Trump administration over the illegal cancellation of nearly $2 billion in research grants, alleging political targeting based on keywords like “diversity,” “gender,” and “COVID-19.” The case centers on over a thousand grants terminated without evidence of noncompliance, with lawyers arguing it’s a First Amendment violation. A judge has already reinstated some grants, and a key hearing is set for October 20th — with potential consequences for science, public health, and America’s global research leadership.
