You're misunderstanding what is happening.
Harvard is a private institution that takes funding from the federal government.
The federal government is reviewing the funding under allegations of anti-Semitism:
-In November 2023, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened a Title VI investigation into allegations of antisemitism on the campus.
-In January 2024, six students sued the University, alleging that Harvard had become a “bastion of rampant anti-Jewish hatred and harassment.” This was followed by a February 2024 alumni-led lawsuit that claimed Harvard’s “unrestrained” campus antisemitism has caused the university reputational damage.
-In July 2024, the Department of Education ended its investigation into allegations of antisemitic harassment at Harvard as a lawsuit filed in federal court contained the same allegations.
-In January 2025, Harvard settled two antisemitism lawsuits by agreeing to provide additional protections for Jewish students, including by adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. |
