In a significant escalation of tensions between the Trump administration and Harvard University, President Donald Trump announced that his administration is seeking $1 billion in damages from the institution. This demand follows allegations of anti-Semitism on campus, which Trump claims Harvard has failed to address adequately. According to The Frontier Post, Trump accused Harvard of being 'strongly antisemitic' and criticized Harvard's president, Alan Garber, for doing a 'terrible job of rectifying a very bad situation for his institution and, more importantly, America itself.' The demand for damages was made public via a post on Trump's social media platform, Truth Social, where he stated, 'We are now seeking One Billion Dollars in damages, and want nothing further to do, into the future, with Harvard University' (Business Recorder). This move is part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration against what it perceives as 'woke' ideologies in higher education, as noted by the South China Morning Post.
