In an escalating dispute, former President Donald Trump has announced his intention to seek $1 billion in damages from Harvard University. This demand is tied to claims of antisemitism and a funding freeze, further intensifying tensions between Trump and the institution. After months of strained negotiations, there have been reports that Trump was expected to drop a previous cash demand, but recent statements indicate he is firmly pursuing this substantial sum. The legal battle raises questions about the implications for Harvard amidst ongoing discussions about federal funding and media scrutiny.
