ACLS Shares Updates About the Restoration of NEH Case
The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) announced the following:On Friday, March 6, 2026, [ACLS], the American Historical Association (AHA), and the Modern Language Association (MLA) filed a motion for a summary judgment in their case to restore National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) previous function and funding. The motion included discovery documents revealing that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) used a flawed ChatGPT process to identify ‘DEI programs’ and inform decisions to terminate grants awarded by the NEH. The motion was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. … In the motion, the plaintiffs present three claims: violations of the First Amendment; violations of the Equal Protection Clause; and violation of the separation of powers, as DOGE carried out the termination of the grants, not the NEH Chair, and without approval from Congress. For more information, read the press release.
