Harvard Under Scrutiny: Federal Civil-Rights Violation

The Trump administration has accused Harvard University of violating federal civil-rights law with its treatment of Jewish and Israeli students. A warning letter from the government threatens the loss of federal funds if immediate changes are not made. The Wall Street Journal reported the findings, though Reuters has yet to confirm.

The Trump administration has formally charged Harvard University with violating federal civil-rights law in connection to its treatment of Jewish and Israeli students. The Wall Street Journal broke the news on Monday, revealing the contents of a significant letter sent to Harvard President Alan Garber.

This letter indicated that 'failure to institute adequate changes immediately will result in the loss of all federal financial resources and continue to affect Harvard's relationship with the federal government.' The report places the prestigious university in a precarious position regarding its access to federal funding.

While the Wall Street Journal provided details on the administrative action, Reuters has not been able to verify the report at this time.
