Harvard put at risk billions in federal funding after rejecting a series of comprehensive demands from the Trump administration, which asserted these were aimed at addressing antisemitism within the university. On April 3, Harvard was presented with a directive that required school officials to shut down diversity offices and collaborate with immigration officials for checks on international students; the call for alterations in its governance, hiring practices, and admissions processes expands on that directive.
