Trump targets Harvard with $1 billion damages claim in funding feud

President Trump said he will seek $1 billion in damages from Harvard in a long-running funding feud tied to his administration’s efforts against what it calls woke campus ideology. The move follows reports that the administration backed off a $200 million demand, and comes after a federal court partially overturned the previous $2 billion funding cuts Harvard challenged in court, with the White House vowing to continue challenging the ruling; other Ivies have struck deals to preserve funding rather than fight in court.
