Trump ups the ante in Harvard feud with a $1B damages claim

President Trump escalates his dispute with Harvard University by seeking $1 billion in damages over the school’s handling of campus antisemitism, part of a broader federal pressure campaign that has frozen billions in federal funding, threatened the university’s tax-exempt status, and aimed to limit enrollment of international students. Harvard has sued to reinstate federal research money and protect international students, while negotiations continue amid scrutiny of 60 universities for campus antisemitism issues; the case could influence how colleges respond to federal probes.
