The Trump administration has launched an investigation into Harvard University, threatening to cut off more than $8.7 billion in federal grants and contracts over the school’s response to student-led campus protests in solidarity with Gaza. A federal antisemitism task force is expected to visit the Harvard campus soon. A scathing op-ed in The Harvard Crimson student newspaper condemns the response of university administrators as “shameful,” adding, “Students are being hurt, threatened, and snatched off the street in real time as our administrators — whose primary responsibility should be defending the wellbeing of students — stay silent, leaving students to feel that they must fend for themselves.” Last week, the Harvard chapter of the American Association of University Professors joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its deportation of international students on ideological grounds. Meanwhile, 70% of Harvard Law School professors have signed a letter condemning the Trump administration for attacking law firms that represent causes and clients opposed by the Trump administration.
