Negotiations between the federal government and Harvard University are close to completion, aiming to resolve a dispute over frozen research grants. The Trump administration had frozen over $2 billion in federal funding and threatened Harvard's tax-exempt status, citing the university's handling of antisemitism on campus. Harvard sued, arguing the freeze was unconstitutional, and a federal judge ruled in the university's favor. As part of a potential settlement, Harvard has reportedly agreed to pay $500 million and operate trade schools, though university officials have yet to comment on the latest developments.
