Harvard nears $500M settlement with Trump admin to restore federal funding, ending university disputes.

Harvard University and the Trump administration are close to a $500 million settlement to end federal investigations and restore funding. The dispute began over campus antisemitism and escalated into a broader conflict involving funding cuts and attempts to block Harvard from hosting international students. Harvard filed lawsuits alleging illegal retaliation by the administration. If finalized, this would be the largest settlement sum in the administration's conflicts with elite universities.
