President Trump's administration began this week the same way that it ended last week with attacks on Harvard University. NPR has confirmed the administration plans to cancel another $100 million in contracts with Harvard. The administration had already put on hold some $2 billion in grants and contracts.

Last week, the administration banned Harvard from hosting foreign students, and that prompted Harvard President Alan Garber to sue for the second time. A judge temporarily blocked the administration so foreign students can stay for now, but when we sat down with Garber on Monday, he knew the fight was far from over.

As you know very well, Mr. President, the Trump administration has taken a number of actions against Harvard University. They've cut off grants in a number of different ways. And most recently, they've ordered all international students to leave the university for some other university or for their home countries.

In your lawsuit, the most recent of your lawsuits about this, you argue very quickly that this isn't really about international students, that it's an act of retaliation. What is really going on in your view?

If you don't see a link, it raises the question of what you think the government is really doing. Is the administration trying to damage, destroy, or capture your university?

In the letter cutting off your ability to host international students, the Department of Homeland Security made a number of accusations, including these, that you, Harvard, brazenly refused to provide information that was demanded about international students and that you also, quote, ignored a follow-up question about them. Is either of those statements true?

Are you going to be able to show in court that you provided information, which I believe your lawsuit says you did?

In that same statement announcing that you would lose the right to host international students, the DHS was able to link to one of Harvard's own documents. It's a report by a presidential commission to you, so it's your commission investigating problems at Harvard University. And I read through the document. There are a lot of accusations in there about things that have gone wrong here.
