Harvard nears $500 million settlement with Trump administration - NYT

MIDDLESEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, AUG 12 – Harvard will pay $500 million to end funding disputes with the Trump administration and commit to fighting anti-Semitism while avoiding a federal monitor, officials said.

  • This past week, Harvard University and President Donald Trump are nearing a settlement requiring $500 million to restore federal research funding and end investigations, the Justice Department and Commerce Department said on Aug 8.
  • In April, Harvard University sued the Trump administration, prompting June negotiations over anti-Semitism and academic independence.
  • Harvard University is nearing a settlement requiring it to spend $500 million on vocational and educational programs, fight anti-Semitism, and release detailed admissions data, two sources say.
  • In return, Harvard University would see its federal research funding restored and avoid the appointment of a monitor, according to sources, and the deal would also allow enrollment of thousands of international students.
  • Beyond Harvard, this deal could shape how other universities respond, as some terms are expected to mirror Brown University’s late July agreement on academic independence.
