Trump, Harvard Near Deal on Student, Policy Disputes

President Trump announced on Truth Social that his administration is close to a potentially historic agreement with Harvard University, following months of disputes over international student enrollment, campus activism, and federal investigations. The administration has attempted to revoke Harvard’s student visa program certification, paused billions in federal funding, and threatened the university's tax-exempt status, largely in response to concerns about antisemitism, foreign influence, and DEI policies. A federal judge previously issued an injunction blocking the administration from barring international students from attending Harvard while lawsuits continue. Trump praised Harvard's conduct during negotiations and said a deal could be reached within a week. Harvard has not commented on the specifics of a possible agreement or whether all issues will be addressed. The outcome of the settlement could have significant implications for higher education nationwide.
