US EditionWebsites serving Harvard undergrad women, minority and LGBTQ students taken down, Crimson reports
MIDDLESEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 10 – Harvard replaced multiple diversity offices with a new academic culture office amid federal threats that could cut $2.8 billion in funding over alleged antidiscrimination violations.
- On Wednesday, Harvard College took down the online pages for its Women’s Center, the BGLTQ Student Life office, and the Foundation focused on intercultural and racial relations in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
- These changes follow months of pressure from the Trump administration, which froze nearly $2.8 billion in federal funds and challenged Harvard's policies on antisemitism and diversity.
- Harvard replaced its previous diversity-related offices with a newly created Office focused on fostering academic community and culture, as announced by Dean Hopi Hoekstra in an email highlighting its role in promoting connection and collaboration.
- Harvard is scheduled for a July 21 hearing to recover frozen federal funds, while a court has prevented the government from rescinding its authorization to admit international students, constituting roughly 25% of its student body.
- These developments suggest ongoing federal challenges to Harvard's accreditation and financial support, while the university commits to fostering an inclusive intellectual environment despite institutional changes.
