The Trump administration is suing Harvard University, alleging the school violated Jewish students’ civil rights. This move marks the latest escalation in the government’s yearlong campaign against the prestigious Ivy League institution, following a significant court setback where the administration lost a bid to strip the university of billions in federal funding.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Massachusetts, claims Harvard failed to protect its Jewish and Israeli students by ignoring hostility on campus and refusing to enforce its own anti-harassment rules. The administration is looking to compel Harvard to comply with civil-rights law and recover millions in taxpayer dollars that the university accepted while allegedly being in violation.
