President Trump demands $1 billion in damages from Harvard University, escalating his administration’s war on "woke" ideology and alleged antisemitism.

The White House has declared total war on the Ivy League. In an unprecedented escalation, President Donald Trump is demanding $1 billion in damages from Harvard University, accusing the institution of “heinous illegalities” and radical ideology.
The conflict between Pennsylvania Avenue and America’s oldest university has gone nuclear. President Donald Trump, never one to shy away from a brawl, has officially demanded a ten-figure payout from Harvard. The demand, announced via a fiery post on Truth Social, accuses the university of harboring antisemitism and "feeding nonsense" to the media. "We are now seeking One Billion Dollars in damages, and want nothing further to do, into the future, with Harvard University," Trump wrote, effectively severing ties with the academic giant.
This is not about money; it is about culture. The Trump administration views Harvard as the citadel of "woke" ideology that it has sworn to dismantle.
The implications for higher education are chilling. If the federal government can weaponize funding and legal claims against a private institution because of its political or social stance, academic freedom is in peril. Harvard has rejected the administration's accusations, but the damage to its reputation and its balance sheet could be immense. Trump’s message to the elite universities is clear: fall in line, or pay the price. The "Ivory Tower" is under siege, and the President is bringing a wrecking ball.
