"The United States cannot and will not tolerate these failures and brings this action to compel Harvard to comply with federal civil rights law, and to recover billions of dollars of taxpayer subsidies awarded to a discriminatory institution."
"This sent the clear message to Harvard's Jewish and Israeli community that the indifference was not an accident; they were being intentionally excluded and effectively denied equal access to educational opportunities."
The US Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Harvard University for allegedly violating federal civil rights law by not addressing antisemitism. The lawsuit claims Harvard was 'deliberately indifferent' to harassment faced by Jewish and Israeli students. It accuses the university of failing to enforce campus rules and discipline those involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. The Justice Department seeks to compel compliance and recover taxpayer subsidies, asserting that Harvard's actions sent a message of exclusion to its Jewish community.
