Trump administration finds Harvard failed to protect Jewish students, threatens to cut all funding
The Trump administration says it’s concluded an investigation of Harvard University and that the school failed to protect Jewish students from harassment. The administration is threatening to cut all federal funding from the Ivy League school if it fails to take action. A federal task force sent a letter to Harvard on Monday finding the university violated civil rights laws requiring colleges to protect students from discrimination based on race or national origin. It says Harvard was at times a “willful participant in anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students, faculty, and staff” and that campus leaders allowed antisemitism to fester on the Massachusetts campus. In a statement, Harvard said it strongly disagrees with the government findings and is committed to fighting bias.
