Harvard is prepared to pay up to a half-billion dollars to settle two federal lawsuits brought by the Trump administration. That’s according to The New York Times, which reports the emerging deal would unfreeze billions of dollars of frozen funds for research grants and contracts, while preserving Harvard’s ability to enroll international students.

This comes just days after Columbia University agreed to a $221 million settlement after Trump threatened to cut off federal funding, accusing administrators of failing to protect Jewish students against antisemitism during campus protests against Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Meanwhile, Brown University said Wednesday it had agreed to a $50 million settlement that will restore federal funding for medical research. Brown agreed to comply with the Trump administration’s demands to end the consideration of race in its admissions policies; it’ll also enforce a ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is freezing $108 million in federal research funding to Duke University after determining its affirmative action policies constitute racial discrimination.
