The Harvard University president, Alan Garber, has told faculty a deal between the Ivy League institution and the Trump administration is not imminent - and denied reports that the university is considering a $500m settlement with the White House, Harvard's student newspaper the Crimson reported.

The Crimson attributed that information to three unnamed faculty members in a report published early on Monday.
