Judge dismisses Trump administration lawsuit alleging Harvard failed to protect Jewish students
- A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday that alleged Harvard University failed to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment.
- The Justice Department filed the lawsuit in March alleging Harvard failed to address antisemitism on campus, seeking to freeze existing grants and recover previously paid federal funds.
- District Judge Richard Stearns wrote that the complaint focused "almost entirely" on 2023-2024 incidents, finding three alleged later events "too isolated and episodic" to establish a pattern.
- "There is no plausible allegation of noncompliance following statutory notice," Stearns wrote, ruling the government failed to prove ongoing violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 at Harvard.
- The original allegations stemmed from protests over Israel's war in Gaza during the 2023-2024 school year, yet the court concluded these occurrences did not demonstrate ongoing civil rights violations.
