Amid the Trump administration's feud with Harvard University, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said she wants the school to come to negotiate with the White House.

"I'd love to have Harvard come back to the table to negotiate with us," McMahon exclusively told ABC News on Wednesday. "Their response [to the administration's demands] was a lawsuit, but we will continue talking if they want to talk."

Leaving her department's policies and priorities hearing on Capitol Hill, McMahon said the administration has been actively communicating with Harvard and said the school has complied with some of its orders to end discrimination, including alleged DEI and antisemitic activity.

Harvard has taken steps to address the alleged antisemitism, including issuing guidance clarifying its Non-Discrimination and Anti-Bullying (NDAB) policies. The school has enhanced and expanded educational training sessions on antisemitism through the Bok Center for teaching and learning.

1. There is nothing to negotiate

Trump just needs to shut up and fuck off.

[creon]

9. I agree

got it in one

[UpInArms]

2. That's a hard no

Fuck you, you cretin

[SKKY]

3. Harvard was here long, long before Trump...

...and it will be here long, long after he has ceased to exist. If I were calling the shots at Harvard, I would say, "Go Fuck Yourself!" in the most eloquent way possible.

4. There's nothing to "negotiate" when Harvard's lawyers are kicking the shit out

of the Turd Administration in Federal Court. This is not a "wrestling match," you stupid fucking, lying, rightwing Nazi bitch!

[delisen]

5. Billionaires should be begging McMahon to resign

She is a huge advertisement for the need to heavily tax super wealthy

[Grins]

6. "...(Harvard to) come back to the table to negotiate with us."

With whom? And over what?

A good negotiation is where both parties give and get. What is McMahon going to “give?”

[Karasu]

7. Linda McMahon has fuck-all of value to say about education and her appointment is a fucking travesty.

There is no reason for ANYONE at Harvard to listen to her.

[Ilsa]

8. I hope Harvard tells them "we'll see you in court."

Or maybe a hearty, "fuck off."

10. Yeah and Trump's tariffs have people kissing his ass

These people suffer from brain damage.

[evemac]

11. These people are so strange

It's not a business negotiation.
I'm so glad Harvard isn't kissing his ass, ring, etc.
