"Trump's demands included ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, banning masks at protests, and expelling students involved in pro-Palestinian protests, which Harvard's president rejected as a political ploy."
The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against Harvard University, alleging it did not protect Jewish and Israeli students from anti-Semitic discrimination. The lawsuit follows protests after the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. Trump demanded Harvard end its diversity programs, expel pro-Palestinian protesters, and cooperate with federal authorities. Harvard's president dismissed these demands as political. Trump threatened to withhold over $2 billion in grants and cancel federal contracts. The lawsuit claims Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by fostering a hostile environment for Jewish students.
