Trump says Harvard facing US$1bn damages lawsuit - RTHK
Donald Trump announced his administration is seeking US$1 billion in damages from Harvard University, following disputes over funding and university policies.Summary
Former US President Donald Trump stated his administration is pursuing a US$1 billion damages claim against Harvard University, as announced on his Truth Social platform. The specific reasons for the claim were not detailed in his post, but this action follows a December appeal regarding a judge’s ruling that found the previous administration unlawfully terminated over US$2 billion in grants to Harvard and prevented cutting off research funding. Trump’s administration had previously accused Harvard of harboring antisemitic and “radical left” ideologies and had engaged in negotiations with the university, reportedly nearing a deal involving a US$500 million payment from Harvard last year. This pursuit of damages represents a continuation of the administration’s efforts to influence policies at US universities through federal funding leverage.
