Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Kennedy
Case Overview
The government appealed Judge Murphy's order granting final judgement for the plaintiffs that the grant terminations as a result of the directive titled "Secretarial Directive on DEI-Related Funding" were in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act
The Application
Judge Murphy found that the government's unilateral termination of DEI-related grants under the directive failed to comply with APA procedural requirements because no notice or comment period preceded implementation. The government now appeals, contesting whether the APA's procedural mandates applied to these grant-termination decisions.
The Conclusion
The district court granted final judgment for the plaintiffs, holding the grant terminations violated the APA. The First Circuit is reviewing whether this determination was correct.
