Colleges Nervously Await Trump-Harvard Deal
- Harvard University filed two lawsuits on June 25, 2025, to block the Trump administration's punitive actions targeting its funding and international students.
- The legal battle follows demands made in April for Harvard to overhaul its leadership, admissions, and hiring amid allegations of antisemitism and the risk of losing $9 billion in federal funding.
- More than 40 parties, including hospitals and over 12,000 alumni, filed amicus briefs supporting Harvard, emphasizing the threat to medical research and academic freedom caused by the administration's actions.
- A federal judge granted preliminary injunctions allowing international students to remain enrolled, while Harvard continues court battles and negotiations expected to reach a deal by the end of the month.
- If reached, the deal could set a precedent for other universities, but critics warn it risks compromising academic freedom and enabling further governmental control over higher education.
