The federal government says it has cut or frozen billions of dollars’ worth of grants and contracts to high-profile universities, ending potentially lifesaving studies and critically needed training, according to the researchers.

The novel approach is targeting billions of dollars for research and could reshape higher education for years to come.

A judge issued a temporary restraining order to stop sweeping cuts, finding that the university violated its own policies on winding down academic programs.

Universities have been reluctant to tap their endowments to plug research funding holes or finance a lawsuit against Trump’s attacks. Could bonds serve that purpose instead?

The U.S. National Institutes of Health reportedly froze another $250 million in federal research funding for the university, on top of the $400 million already in limbo.
