President Donald Trump on Friday said a deal with Harvard University, related to its policies surrounding international students, may be announced within a week.

“Many people have been asking what is going on with Harvard University and their largescale improprieties that we have been addressing, looking for a solution,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We have been working closely with Harvard, and it is very possible that a Deal will be announced over the next week or so.”

The president noted the university “acted extremely appropriately” during negotiations, applauding leadership’s apparent commitment to do “what is right.” 

“If a Settlement is made on the basis that is currently being discussed, it will be “mindbogglingly” HISTORIC, and very good for our Country,” Trump wrote.

Attorneys argued the policy is an infringement of the university’s Due Process and First Amendment rights, in particular Harvard’s constitutional right to be free of retaliatory action for protected speech, as well as violating the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).

The order states the revocation cannot be used to negatively affect visa applications, deny entry to the U.S., or be used as a reason to claim a visa holder has lost their non-immigrant status.

Harvard University declined to comment on President Trump’s social media announcement.
