Affirmation action will survive as we "have the Constitution on our side."

We hope the justices will "finally end the consideration of race and ethnicity in college admissions."

"[A]ffirmative action’s days in university admissions may be numbered."

Chief Justice John Roberts will "basically abolish affirmative action while saying he did not.”

There's a "real possibility that the Supreme Court will ban affirmative action in higher education next term."

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that his administration is seeking $1 billion in damages from Harvard University, as part of the administration's ongoing allegations of antisemitism against the Ivy League institution.

On Truth Social, Trump walked back claims he made in September that Harvard and the White House were close to reaching a $500 million settlement, stating that the university wanted to avoid paying the fee via a "convoluted job training concept" the president described as "wholly inadequate."

In a follow-up post, the president also denied reports from the New York Times that the administration had dropped a previous demand for a $200 million payment as part of the settlement negotiations, which Trump dismissed as "completely wrong."

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that his administration is seeking $1 billion in damages from Harvard University, as part of the administration's ongoing accusations of antisemitism against the Ivy League institution.

With this lawsuit, Harvard is getting what it deserves. Despite coming close to an agreement with the Trump administration last September, the university sought to dodge responsibility for the antisemitism on campus, instead of paying for the damages. The administration, therefore, has no other choice but to launch criminal proceedings against Harvard for its heinous wrongdoings.

Trump's latest attempt to attack Harvard has terrifying implications for the future of free speech in the U.S. By demanding a billion dollars for constitutionally protected criticism of Israel, the administration is creating a precedent whereby speech becomes financially punishable; a development that will stifle free expression and thought on college campuses and beyond.
