Harvard president reportedly says he is not considering $500m deal with Trump | Harvard University
Alan Garber, President of Harvard University, said the Faculty was not close to the Faculty of Ivy League Institute and the Trump administration is not close – and the university said that the White House is thinking of an agreement of $ 500 million, Harvard’s Student Newspaper The Crimson reported.
Crimson connected this information to three anonymous faculty members in a report published early on Monday.
According to the publication, Garber said that Harvard was trying to solve his dispute with the Trump administration through the court system.
The negotiations between the Trump administration and Harvard reopened in June after the President stopped billions of funds on federal funds to the university.
It arrived before Columbia University in July reached An agreement of 221 million dollars to restore frozen federal financing with the Trump administration allegations Some universities in the United States do not do enough to combat anti -Semitism.
Harvard University said that he had complied with the Trump administration on 29 July and demanded to transfer employment forms for thousands of university staff. However, the university said that employees will not only share their registrations in student roles.
The New York Times reported that Harvard was open to spending up to $ 500 million to solve his dispute with the Trump administration.
A faculty member told Crimson that Garber rejected Harvard that he was open to spending – and he added that this claim infiltrated Times by the White House.
The New York Times said he had stopped reporting to Crimson.
“A Harvard spokesman refused to comment, but after the publication, Garber’s words objected to the characterization of Garber’s words, Crimson said. “Harvard officials, Including GarberThey have constantly claimed that they would not accept any agreement that threatens the academic freedom of the university. However, it is fully unclear how important Garber considers. “
Crimson remarkable Harvard had taken steps to try to calm the Trump administration by eliminating diversity offices, cutting ties with a Palestinian university, following the commitment to connecting with Israeli universities, and centralizing the disciplinary forces under Garber.
Harvard is currently struggling with attempts to terminate international student records to the federal university against the Trump administration and challenges federal freezing for research funds. A judge issued preliminary measures in the university’s prohibition of international student registration, and a judge suspected Trump’s allegations of freezing federal research funds, but Trump promised to object to any victory in court by Harvard.
Harvard did not immediately respond to Guardian’s request for comments.
