Trump administration sues Harvard University for allegedly failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from antisemitism
The Trump administration's Justice Department filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Harvard University on Friday, alleging the school violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by allowing antisemitism to flourish on campus after October 7, 2023. The lawsuit seeks to compel Harvard into compliance with federal law and recover billions in federal funding, with the administration claiming Harvard showed deliberate indifference to harassment of Jewish and Israeli students. Harvard rejected the allegations, calling it a pretextual and retaliatory action from the Trump White House.
