Harvard University is open to paying up to half a billion dollars to end its feud with the Trump administration, The New York Times reported Monday .

Citing four anonymous sources, the Times said Harvard was considering acquiescing to the president’s demands and paying as much as $500 million—though university leaders expressed reservations about paying the government directly. The exact terms of the settlement are still being hammered out, the sources said.

The news comes less than a week after Columbia University agreed to pay the Trump administration more than $200 million to get $400 million of grant funding restored.
