Harvard University said on Tuesday it will comply with the demands of President Donald Trump's administration to turn over employment forms for thousands of university staff, but for the time being was not sharing records for those employed in roles only available to students.

Columbia settled with the Trump administration for over $220 million. Harvard is reportedly open to paying twice as much.

A confidential memo, later published in court documents, shows that the Trump administration had already shared an aggressive ‘menu’ of reforms with Harvard, a week before government officials sent a second list of demands that the University rejected.
