Federal judge rules cuts to humanities grants were ‘unlawful’
A federal judge has delivered a sharp rebuke to the government’s sudden cancellation of humanities grants, calling the move “unlawful” and likely unconstitutional. The ruling allows a lawsuit by humanities groups to proceed, challenging the Department of Government Efficiency’s decision to halt funding already approved by Congress. While the decision is a victory for councils, museums, and libraries that depend on NEH support, the money remains frozen—leaving programs shuttered and staff laid off. For many, the fight is now about more than funding; it’s about preserving Congress’s constitutional role. Elizabeth Blair with NPR has the full story.
