Dis appeal wey dem file late Thursday na after Judge Allison D. Burroughs drop wetin be landmark judgment for Harvard side. E mean say dem dey take matter reach U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Na wah! How e take reach dis level be say Harvard no gree accept the government wahala to dem funding, and dem recover a small change, after for months without any cash.

Na dis same Judge Burroughs wey talk say Trump administration dey use constitutional violation to hold Harvard money. She talk say na revenge dem dey try take on the university because of wetin them classify as protected speech. You know say when people dey yarn anyhow, dem go talk say na punishment. But Burroughs no gree hear word; she don make am clear say na ideological fight dey play here.

Dis wahala don dey since April, after Trump side come dey threaten say if Harvard no gree follow wetin dem talk, dem go lose billions. Harvard sharply talk say dem no gree allow government come dey dictate how dem go run their university. Na dem akin to say na attack dey happen against academic freedom.

So far, Harvard don begin to see small cash flow return since September ruling, wey be the first proper money dem don see in four months.
