The Trump administration accused Harvard of civil rights violations against Jewish and Israeli students during protests over Israel’s conflict with Hamas. A federal task force claimed Harvard was either indifferent or complicit in anti-Semitic harassment, with many Jewish students feeling unsafe on campus.
The administration warned it may cut federal funding if Harvard fails to act. Harvard denied the allegations, stating it has taken strong measures against antisemitism.
Additionally, the government has tried to remove Harvard from an international student registry and restrict visas, prompting lawsuits from the university. International students make up 27% of Harvard’s enrollment and are a key revenue source.
