Harvard University is reportedly considering spending up to $500 million to settle its ongoing dispute with the Trump administration, according to The New York Times.
After previously vowing not to comply with the administration, Harvard is now open to a deal, the Times reported on Monday, citing four people familiar with the negotiations. The Trump administration has been targeting the Ivy League University since April, when it declared the school violated civil rights law in its lack of response to campus antisemitism.

Harvard is reluctant to pay the federal government directly, and negotiations are ongoing, according to the Times. The potential deal also may include a settlement in the current court dispute between Harvard and the administration over the funding cuts.
A spokesman for the White House did not confirm to the Daily Caller News Foundation whether a deal was on the horizon, but said they are confident one is possible.
