Harvard University asks a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration that accuses the university of failing to adequately address antisemitism on campus. The U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division filed the case in March, alleging Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by not protecting Israeli and Jewish students. In its motion, Harvard argues that the lawsuit should be dismissed, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The request comes as the government frames its claims around the university’s efforts to combat antisemitism and protect affected students. The dispute centers on whether Harvard’s policies and responses meet the legal obligations described in Title VI and whether the government’s allegations support the relief it seeks. A judge has not yet ruled on the motion. The case remains pending while the court evaluates Harvard’s arguments for dismissal and the government’s claims about compliance with federal civil-rights law.
