Harvard Wins as Judge Dismisses Antisemitism Lawsuit | Roanoke News

from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A federal judge just tossed out the Trump administration’s lawsuit against Harvard, ruling that the school didn’t violate Title VI by failing to address antisemitism—finding the incidents too isolated to prove systemic discrimination. The government had sought to claw back billions in research grants, framing Harvard’s refusal to meet demands as a civil rights failure, but the court called those claims a politically motivated smokescreen. This isn’t the first time Harvard has fought back: last year, another judge ordered the administration to reverse over $2.6 billion in funding cuts. With this latest case dismissed, Harvard avoids legal liability—and the government’s financial pressure for now hits a dead end.
