Harvard and Trump administration negotiate payment terms for workforce programs

Harvard and the Trump administration are in stalled negotiations over a potential deal, with disagreements centering on the payment of funds. Harvard is willing to pay $500 million for workforce programs, but administration officials now want some of that money paid directly to the federal government as a fine, a proposal Harvard officials resist. The ongoing talks have faced hurdles since spring, with Harvard seeking to end the administration's pressure campaign while facing criticism for potentially capitulating.
