President Trump has given Harvard University a long list of demands, but the university has refused to give in to them.

The president has frozen $2.2bn worth of funding as a result.

He wants Harvard to change the way it governs, hires and teaches because of concerns has over antisemitism on campus.

"No government - regardless of which party is in power - should dictate what private universities can teach," Harvard's president Alan Garber said.
