Speaker 3: Board claims it has evidence Demulas was planning a work
Speaker 3: stoppage and say they've struggled to get insight budgets, capital

Speaker 3: of members appointed by his three sisters. A family feud
Speaker 3: a decade ago led to week's worth of protests by

Speaker 2: to respond. That's according to The Boston Globe. At the
Speaker 2: hearing today, Harvard is asking for a preliminary injunction to
Speaker 2: stop this and part of their argument is that they
Speaker 2: weren't given any time to respond and defend themselves. The
Speaker 2: White House is accusing Harvard of coordinating with the Chinese

Speaker 2: it's appealing. Here's ABC Stephen Portnit.
Speaker 4: A response to the ruling, The administration is asking the
