  • Hey everybody, it's Ian from How to Do Everything.

  • On our show, we attempt to answer your how-to questions.

  • We don't know how to do anything, so we call experts.

  • Last season, both Tom Hanks and Martha Stewart stopped by to help.

  • Our next season is launching in just a few months,

  • so get us your questions now by emailing howto at npr.org or calling 1-800-424-2935.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korova Coleman.

  • A federal judge will now decide the dispute between the Trump administration and Harvard University.

  • The administration is seeking to cut more than $2 billion in funding to Harvard.

  • NPR's Alissa Nadwani reports lawyers from both sides made their arguments in a federal court yesterday in Boston.

  • For arguments, Harvard really stuck with what they had filed in court documents,

  • that the White House violated the university's First Amendment rights and acted in retaliation when it demanded control over the school's viewpoint diversity policies.

  • The Trump administration focused more on the administration's right to cancel government grants at any time

  • if it decides an institution doesn't align with its priorities,

  • like combating antisemitism, essentially framing the issue as one about finances.

  • Now we wait for the judge to issue a summary judgment,

  • which could come after several days or even weeks.

  • Whoever loses will very likely appeal, and this case may eventually come before the U.S.

  • Supreme Court.
