A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Thursday by the Trump administration that alleged that Harvard University failed to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment.
A federal judge on Thursday dismissed the Trump administration’s civil rights lawsuit against Harvard University that accused the school of turning a blind eye to antisemitism. District Judge Richard Stearns ruled the alleged incidents didn’t amount to an ongoing violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. A federal judge in Boston ruled that incidents cited by the Department of Justice were "too isolated and episodic" to prove Harvard violated civil rights law during pro-Palestinian campus protests.
