The current administration has taken, shall we say, a broad approach to what they consider "in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws", this clause is suddenly interpreted very differently than in past administrations despite the laws in question not changing.

Therefore, I can definitely see why the PSF's lawyers encouraged giving this clause an extremely wide berth and pulling the grant entirely.

Then the brave thing is you accept the grant and let them take it to court. Get a court ruling against them, which in our common law system establishes case law

The administration can try to press charges, but they don’t control the courts

According to recent events of this US administration, there are two things that could follow after a court decides in favor of the PSF:

* They will ignore it and still claw back the money, with force if needed

* They go higher and higher through the courts until it lands on the table of the supreme court that conveniently sides with the administration.

You can't win a fight in the system. Law is broken and not reliable anymore.
