Trump Administration Challenges Harvard: New Investigations Launched

The Trump administration has initiated two new investigations into Harvard University, led by the U.S. Education Department's civil rights office, over allegations of racial discrimination against students, continuing its scrutiny of leading U.S. educational institutions.

The administration of President Donald Trump announced on Monday the launch of two additional investigations targeting Harvard University, intensifying its focus on elite educational institutions in the United States.

The U.S. Education Department's civil rights office stated it has initiated these investigations in response to accusations that Harvard University is discriminating against students based on race, color, and national origin, allegedly contravening federal law.

This move is part of the administration's ongoing efforts to examine practices at top-tier universities across the nation.
