The Application
History
The UC researchers challenge the grant cancellations as lacking statutory authorization and violating the APA because the administration did not follow notice-and-comment procedures before implementing this significant policy shift affecting existing grant agreements.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in the Northern District of California under Judge Rita F. Lin with no final ruling yet; the outcome depends on whether the court finds the terminations authorized by statute and procedurally compliant, or finds APA violations and/or constitutional defects.
