The President of the United States demands that Harvard University pay $500 million!

The president called on Harvard University to pay a total of $500 million in settlement funds to restore its federal funding, and he told Education Secretary Linda McMahon at Tuesday's cabinet meeting: "We want no less than $500 million from Harvard, Linda, don't negotiate, they are bad, don't negotiate."

Harvard University has been targeted by the president for openly opposing the U.S. government's efforts to combat anti-Semitism on campus. Harvard is the only institution that has directly taken the White House to court, and has thus become a focal point of a broader conflict over academic freedom, federal funding, and campus oversight.

A federal judge is expected to make a ruling soon on the university's case against the U.S. government suspending Harvard's federal funding. Harvard has requested U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs to make a final decision before September 3rd.
