"The battle between Harvard and the Trump administration may soon be coming to an end. Our great leader recently announced that negotiations are very close to being finished: you know things are serious because he delivered the news in person instead of via a Truth Social post. New York Times has coverage: President Trump said Tuesday that his administration was close to reaching a multimillion-dollar agreement with Harvard University, which would end a monthslong standoff that had come to symbolize the resistance"
"Big if here - he said negotiations with Harvard should be done in a week or so back on June 20th - but if the school goes through with paying out $500M to the Trump administration, they should expect a lot of push back from all of the donors that dug deep and donated to try and make up for the government playing hardball with their grants."
Negotiations between Harvard and the Trump administration are nearly complete, with an announced settlement figure of about $500 million. The settlement would end a monthslong standoff that became symbolic of efforts to reshape higher education. Donors who contributed to offset federal grant freezes are likely to push back if the university pays the settlement. A summary judgment previously found the government's funding freeze unlawful, which strengthened Harvard's legal position. The settlement reportedly earmarks $500 million for trade schools. The prospect of a settlement raises reputational consequences and potential legal or ethical scrutiny over earmarked funds.
