US EditionEXCLUSIVE: Too Little, Too Late, Harvard Is Told About Its Response to Antisemitism Claims
UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – The Department of Health and Human Services found Harvard violated Title VI for antisemitic harassment and referred the case to the Justice Department after months of noncompliance.
- Amid antisemitism claims, the HHS Office for Civil Rights on June 30 found Harvard in violation of Title VI and referred the investigation to the Justice Department, risking litigation.
- Despite extensive communications, Harvard University chose `scorched-earth litigation` instead of voluntary compliance, the HHS letter said, after months of fruitless engagement.
- With the Justice Department now involved, an HHS official said a court could impose penalties beyond suspension of federal financial resources, based on its deliberate indifference towards antisemitic harassment.
- Potential legal actions could include a consent decree or injunction, as the Justice Department may launch proceedings to enforce U.S. rights under federal law, Stannard said.
- Amid funding negotiations, Harvard University continues talks with the Trump administration to restore nearly $3 billion in federal funding, following deals struck by Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania and Brown University.
