The Trump administrative probe accuses Harvard of discriminating for Jewish students, threatens to draw all funds

The Trump administration published in Harvard a “violation opinion” under title VI of the civil rights law for its treatment of alleged discrimination against Jewish students on campus, stressing that it must adopt changes or lose all federal funding.

In a letter to the president of Harvard, Alan Garber, obtained by Fox News Digital, the multi-aging working group to combat anti-Semitism wrote that the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) at the Ministry of Health and Social Services (HHS) completed its investigation into anti-Semitism presumed at university.

“After an in -depth investigation, HHS OCR notes that the Harvard University is in violent violation of title VI of the civil rights law, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color and national origin,” said the letter.

“The closed opinion of violation details the conclusions of fact supporting a conclusion that Harvard was deliberately indifferent, and, in others, was a voluntary participant in the anti-Semitic harassment of students, teachers and Jewish staff,” he continued.

The OCR survey revealed that “specific and repeated examples” that he discovered establish a model of “illegal and uncontrolled discrimination” at Harvard through direct harassment on the student, harassment targeted by groups of students, the exclusion of campus spaces and acceptance at the institutional level of anti -Semitism, according to the note obtained by Fox News Digital.

The letter indicated, as an example of harassment and discrimination, that the majority of Jewish students said they had undergone negative biases or discrimination on the campus, while a quarter felt physically dangerous.

Other examples cited were Jewish and Israeli students reporting that they had been attacked and spitting and that they hid their Jewish identity to classmates for fear of ostracization.

An image circulated through the campus community which showed a sign of a dollar inside a David star and the campus was vandalized with various stickers, including one who showed the Israeli flag with a swastika in place of David’s star, said the letter.

The letter also underlined the anti-Israeli demonstrations on the campus the day after the attack on October 7, 2023 of Hamas against the Jewish state.

“The campus was thrilled by demonstrations which violated the rules of conduct of the university in a blatant way. The demonstrations included calls for genocide and murder, and refused the Jewish and Israeli students access to campus spaces,” said, adding that students who participated in the demonstrations of camps “received a discipline of laxity and incompatibility. “”

“At the end of the process, even by counting only the students who were billed, only a fraction received a kind of discipline, and none has been suspended,” he added.

The letter indicated that Harvard “had not challenged our factual conclusions, and that could not either” that “the inaction of the school in the face of these violations of civil rights was a clear example of the demographic hierarchy which has seized the university”.

“The equal defense of the law requires that all groups, regardless of race or national origin, be protected,” said the letter. “Harvard’s commitment to racial hierarchies – where individuals are sorted and judged according to their belonging to an oppressed group identity and not to an individual merit – has enabled anti -Semitism to be transmitted to the Harvard campus and led a great institution to humiliation, offering mathematics remedies and to force Jewish students to hide their identity and their old stories.”

Harvard has been informed that the fact that the fact of immediately instituting adequate changes would result in the loss of all federal financial resources and would continue to affect his relations with the federal government.

The university, the letter note: “May of course continue to operate without federal privileges, and perhaps such an opportunity will stimulate a commitment to excellence that will help Harvard prosper.”

“Harvard has the regrettable distinction of being among the most important and most visible reproductive grounds for racial discrimination,” said the letter to the president of Harvard, noting the 2023 Supreme Court decision which revealed that the positive action programs based on the breed in the violent university admission the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. “This heritage of discrimination persists with the continuous anti -Semitism of Harvard. Any institution which refuses to respect its functions under the federal law may not receive a wide range of federal privileges.”
