Trump Administration Accuses Harvard of Violating Civil Rights of Jewish Students, Threatens Funding Cuts

The Trump administration has formally accused Harvard University of violating the Civil Rights Act by failing to adequately protect Jewish students from antisemitic harassment. A federal investigation found that the institution allowed a climate of hostility toward Jewish students, including incidents of harassment. In response to these findings, the administration has indicated it may cut all federal funding to the university, emphasizing the severity of the alleged violations. Harvard has pushed back against these accusations, arguing that the administration should have followed proper procedures before threatening funding cuts. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and Ivy League institutions over issues of civil rights and free speech on campus.
