Justice Dept. Sues Harvard Over Antisemitism

0:00This is Cory with the story, keeping Canada in the know. You're listening to Canada News today. The Justice Department has sued Harvard University for not doing enough to stop anti-Semitism on its campus. The lawsuit claims school leaders ignored the problem, which opens the door for the government to freeze current grants and demand repayment on money. Already given out, filed Friday and federal court in Massachusetts, this action ramps up pressure on the Ivy League school. It focuses on how Harvard handled complaints and protected Jewish students during recent protests. This legal move fits into a larger clash between the Trump administration and Harvard. Officials say the university's policies fell short, leaving students at risk and violating federal rules tied to the funding. No quick resolution is in sight, as both sides dig in for a long court fight. Harvard has yet to respond publicly, but past disputes show they won't back down easily. As this case unfolds, it could reshape how colleges manage campus tensions and federal aid.
