The White House's battle against Harvard escalated Wednesday, when the Trump administration suggested the elite university might not meet accreditation standards. President Trump said Wednesday he believed a deal could be reached with the school. May Mailman, White House Senior Policy Strategist and Harvard Law graduate, told me the ball is in Harvard’s court. “A deal could happen tomorrow, if all Harvard were to do is agree to a very few things that the administration cares about,” said Mailman. “As far as timing, that is up to Harvard,” Mailman added. Both President Trump and the administration are making it publicly known that a “deal” is in reach. I’d watch the next few weeks to see if the two sides actually get closer to one.
