American Council of Learned Societies, American Historical Association, and Modern Language Association celebrate Judge Colleen McMahon’s decision for the Authors Guild, putting a stay on the cancellations of the NEH’s awarded grants. While it is disappointing that our request for an injunction and some of the claims in our own suit have been dismissed, we are encouraged that they rejected the government’s motion to dismiss our claim that DOGE was responsible for the terminations and our First Amendment claims. We will continue to move forward with the case and remain steadfast in our efforts to stop the unlawful dismantling of the NEH.
