Harvard said Wednesday it has received notices that many of the canceled federal grants will be restored, although the money has not come back yet.
“Harvard has begun to receive notices of reinstatements on many of the previously terminated federal awards from a range of federal agencies. Harvard is monitoring funding receipts closely. So far, payments have not been restored on these awards,” a spokesperson for Harvard said.
The funds seem to be on its way back after a judge ruled the Trump administration could not withhold the money from Harvard.
The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
The New York Times was the first to report the notices.
However, there is no guarantee the funding will stay for long, as the Trump administration can appeal the court decision to restore the $2.2 billion.
The restoration comes as the Trump administration and Harvard still seem to be in negotiations after the federall government has targeted the institutions for months.
The administration paused billions of dollars in funding to the university, attempted to take away its ability to enroll foreign students and threatened its tax-exempt and accreditation status, along with numerous investigations. Onlookers speculate Harvard has the upper hand in the talks with the court’s ruling.
