Trump announces "deal" with Harvard over antisemitism and civil rights
The President just announced a coming deal with the Ivy League institution after billions of dollars in grant money were pulled over allegations of enabling antisemitism and violating civil rights law.
President Donald Trump has announced today (Friday) that his administration is reaching a deal with Harvard University within a week, to end the standoff over billions in federal grants suspended over the university's failure to protect Jewish students from antisemitic attacks and its open violation of civil rights laws.
Here is the full statement:
"Many people have been asking what is going on with Harvard University and their largescale improprieties that we have been addressing, looking for a solution. We have been working closely with Harvard, and it is very possible that a Deal will be announced over the next week or so. They have acted extremely appropriately during these negotiations, and appear to be committed to doing what is right. If a Settlement is made on the basis that is currently being discussed, it will be “mindbogglingly” HISTORIC, and very good for our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
