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.
