Harvard University is facing significant challenges after actions taken by the previous United States administration, which included barring the institution from hosting international students and pausing substantial research funding due to concerns over campus safety and anti-discrimination compliance. The situation has intensified with ongoing federal investigations into Harvard's government-funded patents and its connections with China, putting its accreditation and access to research grants at risk. The White House has also demanded extensive records related to employees and international students, further increasing pressure on the university. Amid these developments, there is speculation that Harvard may soon reach a resolution through negotiations to address the government's concerns.
