Harvard University is close to resolving its months-long clash with the Trump administration under a framework that would see the Ivy League institution pay about $500 million, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. The payment would restore access to federal grants and end multiple investigations that have curtailed Harvard’s research funding and threatened its ability to enroll international students. The dispute began as a civil-rights inquiry into campus antisemitism and escalated after the administration froze more than $2.6 billion in research support, canceled federal contracts and imposed other penalties. Harvard countered with two lawsuits alleging unlawful retaliation and threats to academic freedom. A $500 million deal would mark the largest financial concession secured by the White House; earlier this summer Columbia University agreed to pay $200 million and Brown University pledged $50 million in separate settlements. Significant details remain under discussion, and a final agreement could still be weeks away.
