Harvard University was told by an unidentified official on Trump’s antisemitism task force that a letter of demands had been sent to the university without authorization, the New York Times reports, citing two unidentified people familiar with the matter.

The letter sent by the Trump admininstration to the Harvard University last Friday (April 11) demanding policy changes was sent by ‘mistake’, a new report suggested. The Trump administration's letter to Harvard demanded that the university make a series of policy changes in order to continue to receive federal funding.
