White House seeks fines from universities including Harvard, WSJ reports
MIDDLESEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 25 – The White House aims to impose heavy fines and cash settlements on Harvard and others to end federal probes into campus antisemitism, following a $220 million Columbia settlement.
- The White House is aiming to impose substantial financial penalties on Harvard and several other universities to resolve investigations into campus antisemitism, modeling these settlements on Columbia University’s $200 million agreement.
- This strategy follows investigations by the Trump administration into dozens of universities for alleged failures to address antisemitism amid pro-Palestinian protests and funding freezes at several schools.
- Columbia committed to paying over $200 million, accepted supervision by an independent monitor, implemented changes to admissions and hiring practices, and agreed to distribute $21 million in compensation to Jewish employees and faculty affected by antisemitic harassment.
- Education Secretary Linda McMahon described the Columbia settlement as a guiding framework that is expected to influence colleges nationwide and transform campus environments for an extended period.
- The White House aims to secure similar settlements with fines from several universities including Harvard, Northwestern, Brown, and Cornell in exchange for restoring frozen federal funding.
