Websites serving Harvard undergrad women, minority and LGBTQ students taken down, Crimson reports
MIDDLESEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 10 – Harvard replaced multiple diversity offices with a new academic culture office amid federal threats that could cut $2.8 billion in funding over alleged antidiscrimination violations.
- On Wednesday, Harvard College dismantled websites for its Women’s Center, Office for BGLTQ Student Life, and Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations, redirecting them to a new Office of Culture and Community.
- Harvard's dismantling of diversity-related websites on Wednesday was prompted by federal threats, including a freeze of about $2.8 billion in funds and notifications of accreditation violations from the US Departments of Education and HHS.
- Internal email said the Office for Academic Culture and Community will break down silos and 'foster a culture rooted in care, curiosity and collaboration,' yet its webpage is nearly blank.
- Following the website removals, Harvard faces ongoing lawsuits and negotiations over antisemitism and frozen funds, with spokesperson Jonathan Palumbo declining to confirm staff roles.
- A July 21 hearing aims to review Harvard's federal aid, with no final deal over nearly $3 billion in cuts, potentially affecting its funding and accreditation status.
