Judge Orders Trump Not to Threaten University of California’s Funding

A federal judge has restricted President Trump from withholding funds or demanding payments from the University of California, citing such actions as “unlawful coercion.” The legal decision follows a series of disputes over academic independence and campus speech. University advocates view this as a major victory, setting a precedent for future federal and institutional relations. Analysts discuss its effect on higher education policy and the boundaries of executive power.
