After a back and forth with critics, among them President Donald Trump, Harvard University said on Wednesday it will return over $8 million in grant money from the federal government's coronavirus relief fund.

"They have to pay it back... this isn't meant for one of the richest institutions," Trump said of Harvard, which has a $41 billion endowment.

Harvard initially stood its ground on Wednesday morning, and said it would not return the funds, before later that day switching course and saying it would give back the money.
