Trump administration says Harvard violated civil rights of Jewish students
The Trump administration says that Harvard University has violated civil rights laws upon the treatment of Israel and Jewish students, and potentially endangered the federal fund.
In a letter sent to Harvard, the administration accused the university of the concerns of Jewish students who felt threatened on campus.
Movement, the last of the legal and financial war between Harvard and the White House – the last – risks have increased significantly in the last few months.
Harvard said that he had made “important steps” to fight discrimination and “did not participate strongly” with the government’s findings.
The letter by the BBC says that “inability to start enough changes will lead to loss of almost all federal financial resources” for Harvard.
“Harvard, of course, continues to be free of federal privileges, and perhaps such an opportunity will encourage Harvard to develop once again,” he says.
According to the letter, the Federal Inspectors found that Jewish students’ majority “expressed discrimination or prejudice against them, and one quarter of them felt physically threatened.
Among the behaviors detailed in the letter are images that depict a dollar sign in David’s star, which shows an Israeli flag in David’s star, showing an Israeli flag in David’s star.
“Harvard’s inertia against these civil rights violations is a clear example of the demographic hierarchy that seized the university.” “Harvard’s commitment to racial hierarchies-according to the membership of a group of oppressed groups, and not an individual right, but also enabled anti-Semitism to inspire.”
If the letter is taken, if corrective measures are taken, it is usually known as the “infringement notification” that comes before a case or a voluntary decision.
Harvard said in a statement that struggling with anti -Semitism on campus has taken “important, proactive steps” and “taking important steps to fight bigotry, hate and prejudice”.
“We are not alone in confrontation with this difficulty and we accept that this work continues.”
In April, Harvard published the findings of an internal investigation that found that the university was deeply polarized by the ongoing war in Gaza and that the students on both sides felt insecure.
In a message of Mr. Garber, who accompanied the report, the university president apologized for the moments when we could not meet the high expectations we have rightly determined for our community.
The university has also taken a series of steps to address the issue, including facilitating dialogue problems, not discriminating and expanding anti -bullying policies and developing the education of anti -Semitism.
The last time the letter between the Harvard and the Trump administration increased the pressure on universities, which he claimed to have claimed that he could not cope with anti -Semitism among the protests against the war in Gaza.
Previously, in May, the administration directed US federal institutions to direct the grants of Harvard University to potentially end or redistribute. The administration estimated that approximately 30 contracts, worth $ 100 million (£ 74 million) collectively, can be reviewed.
It was already frozen $ 2.65 billion in federal grants and tried to cancel Harvard’s ability to record international students.
The Trump administration also issued a similar notification to Columbia University last month, accusing Jewish students of violating the Civil Rights Law for allegedly not being able to protect them from harassment. Columbia also negotiates with management on federal financing and autonomy.
