The Trump administration's U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services have initiated Title VI investigations into Harvard and its Law Review. Allegations suggest that the review's article selection process discriminates based on race, favoring minority authors over merit-based selections. Statements from officials highlight concerns about equity in academic publishing, with accusations that race has a larger influence than merit in selections. Harvard Law Review has not responded publicly to these allegations, although the Law School claims compliance with federal laws regarding nondiscrimination.
Harvard Law Review's article selection process appears to pick winners and losers on the basis of race, employing a spoils system.
We will not allow recipients of federal funding to discriminate on the basis of race.
