Trump's administration withheld $2.2 billion in federal funding from Harvard after the university refused to work with the DOE.

In a statement on Monday, Harvard University President Alan Garber said the terms of the agreement make "clear that the intention is not to work with us to address antisemitism in a cooperative and constructive manner."

"Although some of the demands outlined by the government are aimed at combating antisemitism, the majority represent direct governmental regulation of the intellectual conditions at Harvard," Garber wrote.
