Harvard University is open to paying up to half a billion dollars to end its feud with the Trump administration, The New York Times reported Monday.

The White House is pursuing heavy fines from Harvard and other universities as part of potential settlements to end investigations into campus antisemitism, according to an administration official familiar with the matter.

The New York Times reported on Monday Harvard University has signaled a willingness to spend as much as $500 million to end its dispute with the Trump administration, the amount being more than twice of what Columbia University agreed to pay last week to resolve federal probes.
