Donald Trump announced his administration is seeking US$1 billion in damages from Harvard University, following a New York Times report about settlement negotiations. Trump accused Harvard and other colleges of promoting "woke" ideology and failing to protect Jewish students during pro-Palestinian protests. The administration has filed legal complaints against these institutions and demanded significant payouts. Critics view this as a pressure campaign against liberal universities. Last summer, Columbia University agreed to pay the Trump administration US$200 million and adhere to rules prohibiting race-based considerations in admissions and hiring.
