"Donald Trump has announced that his administration is seeking $1bn in damages from Harvard University, the latest step in a long-running battle with the university over allegations of antisemitism. In a Truth Social post late on Monday, Trump accused the Ivy League school of being strongly antisemitic, adding that Harvard president Alan Garber has done a terrible job of rectifying a very bad situation for his institution and, more importantly, America itself."
"The announcement came hours after the New York Times reported that Trump had allegedly dropped a previous demand for $200m as part of a settlement over allegations that Harvard failed to effectively address antisemitism on campus, according to people familiar with the matter. Speaking to the outlet, both Harvard and Trump officials said the administration had recently indicated it no longer expected the payment."

Harvard and Trump officials reportedly indicated the administration no longer expected the earlier $200m payment. Trump said he wants nothing further to do with Harvard and reiterated accusations that the university has been behaving very badly.
