The Trump administration is clashing with the Ivy League institution over significant amounts of federal grant money. Earlier this year, Trump withheld $2.4 billion in grants to Harvard, citing pro-Palestinian demonstrations and antisemitism occurring on campus.
However, Trump recently announced that an agreement has been reached to resume the funding, which includes Harvard allocating $500 million to trade school initiatives.
“We’re on the verge of finalizing the terms, and [Secretary of Education] Linda [McMahon] is putting the finishing touches on it. They’ll be contributing about $500 million,” Trump explained. “They will offer trade school programs, teaching skills in AI and other areas, like engines and more.”
