SCOOP: Nevada governor tells JNS he wasn’t asked before state added to ‘friend of court’ brief defending Harvard against federal charges of being lax on Jew-hatred

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo's office stated it was not consulted before Attorney General Aaron Ford joined an amicus brief supporting Harvard University. The brief, filed by 20 states and the District of Columbia, defends Harvard against Trump administration efforts to revoke federal funding over its handling of antisemitism on campus. The "friend of the court" brief argues that federal attacks on university research pose "dire risks" and highlights the public benefits of such research. Ford, a Democrat, is listed as a signatory alongside other attorneys general, while also running to unseat the Republican Governor Lombardo.
