US EditionHarvard could be willing to spend up to $500M to settle disputes with Trump: NYT
CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 29 – Harvard is prepared to pay up to $500 million to settle allegations of antisemitism and civil rights violations, more than double Columbia's $200 million settlement, sources said.
- Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is negotiating a potential settlement of up to $500 million with the Trump administration to resolve federal investigations.
- This follows Columbia University's recent $200 million settlement over antisemitism accusations amid campus protests related to the Israel-Hamas war.
- Harvard is also contesting the termination of billions in federal research funding while facing similar discrimination allegations and legal challenges.
- In April, Harvard President Alan Garber emphasized that their efforts help protect a crucial foundation of both the U.S. economy and its societal fabric: the nation's universities.
- If settled, the deal could set a precedent involving significant financial penalties and changes to university policies nationwide under federal scrutiny.
