The Trump administration sent a letter to Harvard University that outlined a slew of demands – like reforming its programs, discontinuing DEI practices and additional policy demands tied to federal funding – in error,

Harvard said on Saturday the Trump administration was "doubling down" on far-reaching demands on the university despite a published report that government officials had sent a letter spelling out those demands without authorization.

President Donald Trump's administration said on Friday it sought Harvard University's records on foreign funding going back a decade and on some foreign ties, in the government's latest escalation against the educational institution.
