Trump seeks $1 billion from Harvard University in damages

The Trump administration alleges Harvard mishandled antisemitism and seeks $1 billion in damages, shifting from a dropped $200 million demand amid ongoing federal funding disputes.

  • On Feb 2, President Donald Trump said his administration will seek One Billion Dollars in damages from Harvard University following a New York Times report and posted the demand on Truth Social.
  • The dispute stems from federal investigations after the Trump administration said Harvard mishandled antisemitic harassment following the October 7, 2023 attacks and revoked around $2 billion in federal research grants.
  • The New York Times reported that Harvard's governing board met Monday as negotiations, mediated by Stephen A. Schwarzman, showed Trump dropped a $200 million demand.
  • A federal judge previously blocked efforts to cut off billions in research grants while litigation continues, and other Ivy League schools struck deals to preserve funding.
  • Threats to tax-exempt status and university patents show the White House's higher-education campaign aims for a political win, with a deal seen as a victory amid sagging approval ratings.
