Federal Judge Rules DOGE's Cuts to Jewish Humanities Grants Unconstitutional
A federal judge has ruled that the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) cancellation of federal humanities grants, including those for Jewish projects, was unconstitutional. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon criticized the agency, created under President Trump, for targeting Jewish projects, including Holocaust research. The decision highlighted the use of artificial intelligence to identify and cancel projects deemed related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The lawsuit, brought by the Authors Guild and scholarly groups, revealed that many Jewish grants were classified as DEI. The ruling mandates the reinstatement of the terminated grants.
