DOJ sues Harvard for alleged discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students

The U.S. Justice Department filed a 44-page federal lawsuit against Harvard University in Massachusetts, alleging the school violated Title VI by discriminating against Jewish and Israeli students and creating a hostile campus environment after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack; DOJ seeks billions in federal funding and says Harvard knew about harassment but failed to act. Harvard defends its efforts to address antisemitism and will contest the suit. The case follows prior government actions in this dispute, including a court ruling related to funding, and Harvard is slated to receive more than $2.6 billion in federal grants from HHS.

College Leaders Face Congress Over Campus Antisemitism Allegations

Congress is set to question administrators from Northwestern, UCLA, and Rutgers over their handling of campus antisemitism, with accusations of negotiating with pro-Hamas groups and failing to protect Jewish students. The hearing, titled "Calling for Accountability: Stopping Antisemitic College Chaos," follows similar scrutiny faced by Penn, Harvard, and MIT last year, leading to resignations of their presidents. Critics argue that the universities' actions have emboldened antisemitic behavior and failed to uphold campus safety and conduct codes.
