FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Secretary of Education Linda McMahon told The Daily Signal a settlement with Harvard University is close, after a protracted battle over the university’s diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.
Trump said Wednesday that he heard the United States had a deal with Harvard.
“I hear we have a deal but who the hell knows with them,” Trump told reporters.
When asked about the president’s statement by The Daily Signal, McMahon said, “He’s right. It’s ongoing.”
Harvard and the Trump administration have engaged in a legal battle for about nine months after President Donald Trump pulled $2 billion in federal funding and removed Harvard’s ability to enroll international students. The president took action over Harvard’s alleged failure to curb antisemitism and its DEI practices.Secretary McMahon talked about this, and more, in a sit down interview with Elizabeth Mitchell, Daily Signal White House correspondent, on Tuesday.
