Trump administration ramps up Harvard probes over admissions discrimination and antisemitism claims

Two fresh investigations target admissions and campus speech

The US Department of Education has launched two new investigations into Harvard University. One probe examines allegations of racial discrimination in admissions after the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling. The second looks into claims of antisemitism on Harvard’s campus. The move signals a sharper Trump-era focus on how elite US schools handle sensitive admissions and speech issues.
