Harvard University has refused to comply with demands from the Trump administration, putting nearly $9bn in funding at risk. The demands, which aim to address antisemitism on campus, include auditing the student body, faculty, and staff for viewpoint diversity and banning face masks.

Lawyers for the university argue that the demands invade university freedoms recognized by the Supreme Court. Harvard is one of several Ivy League schools targeted by the administration.
