US EditionHarvard could be willing to spend up to $500M to settle disputes with Trump: NYT
- Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has signaled willingness to pay up to $500 million to settle disputes with the Trump administration over alleged civil rights violations.
- The dispute began after an April probe questioned whether Harvard's Law Review fast-tracked an article by a racial minority, potentially violating Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
- Harvard resists allowing an outside monitor and has legally challenged the government to restore frozen federal funding while quietly negotiating settlement financial terms.
- This proposed $500 million figure exceeds Columbia University's recent $200 million payment, though Harvard hesitates to pay directly to the federal government, according to sources.
- These federal probes and threatened funding cuts, related to race and diversity policies, signal increased enforcement scrutiny on universities amid ongoing negotiations and rights advocates' free speech concerns.
