flag The Trump administration demands $200 million from Harvard, which denies agreeing, amid escalating conflict over antisemitism and federal funding.

flag The Trump administration escalated its dispute with Harvard University in late December 2025, with Education Secretary Linda McMahon asserting the school agreed to a $200 million payment, a claim Harvard denies. flag The university maintains it never consented to such a settlement, calling the assertion inaccurate. flag The conflict, rooted in federal scrutiny over antisemitism, governance, and compliance, has intensified with new demands deemed unacceptable by Harvard officials. flag The administration’s actions, including threats to cut federal funding and lawsuits over diversity programs, reflect broader efforts to assert control over elite institutions. flag Despite Harvard’s acknowledgment of antisemitism on campus and steps to address it, the administration views its response as inadequate. flag The standoff, marked by inconsistent messaging and shifting demands, remains unresolved, with no official comment from the White House or Department of Education.
