The Trump administration has threatened to cut all federal funding to Harvard University over accusations that it violated the rights of Jewish and Israeli students. A federal task force concluded that Harvard was sometimes deliberately indifferent and at other times complicit in anti-Semitic harassment. Many Jewish students reported discrimination, and some felt physically unsafe. Harvard responded by saying it has made proactive efforts to combat anti-Semitism and is committed to supporting its Jewish and Israeli community. The task force warned that failure to implement necessary changes could impact Harvard’s federal funding and relationships.
