McMahon wants Trump to be resumed with Harvard without giving soil

Linda McMahon, the top education officer in the country, would like to reopen the talks with Harvard University, but gave hardly any signs that the Trump government would consider changing its aggressive tactics in order to facilitate the patient situation with the university.

Instead, she noticed that US officials have more opportunities to put Harvard under pressure, to submit to President Trump's agenda, and accused the university's lawsuit against the administration for suffocating discussions.

“It is a bit difficult to have open negotiations when we file a lawsuit,” said Ms. McMahon in an interview on Friday. “When you sit and talk, do you have to be present all of your lawyers, do you do all of these things to make sure you don't compromise the lawsuit?

Ms. McMahon repeatedly said she wants to return to negotiations with Harvard. Nevertheless, she declined to describe what she would like to see from university officials for at least one short relaxation. The two sides were locked up in an increasingly aggressive and disputed struggle for Mr. Trump's persistence to bend the school according to his will by threatening to draw all 9 billion US dollars that she receives in federal financing without making significant changes to approvals, curricula and attitudes.

The struggle is part of a broader offer by the President to realign what he sees as a liberal inclination of Elite College Campus. Harvard praised critics of the White House for his resistance.

But this resistance has a price. The government has canceled grants of around 2.7 billion US dollars, with Harvard's research partners now having a further financing of almost 1 billion US dollars in the balance. At the beginning of this week, the administration took a significant step in the direction of a lawsuit against Harvard when the Ministry of Justice opened an investigation in accordance with the law on incorrect claims, a law that is supposed to punish those who chose the government.
