Harvard University might be feeling the heat today following an announcement made by Education Secretary Linda McMahon. She disclosed on her official social media account that the Health & Human Services department has uncovered that Harvard University is not adhering to Title IX regulations. The violation in question is linked to what seems to be a toleration, if not support, of anti-Semitic activities happening on campus.
Today, @HHSOCR found that Harvard is in violent violation of Title VI due to their persistent indifference toward Antisemitism on campus.

The attached document states in part:
The news has been confirmed by the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, sharing that the Office for Civil Rights at the United States Department of Health and Human Services has completed its investigation relating to anti-Semitism at Harvard University. The findings from the HHS OCR investigation state that Harvard University is in clear breach of Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, a regulation established to prevent discrimination based on race, color, and national origin.
They are in violent violation, no less, as befits a case where there have been acts of violence.
In a White House press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt presented more details.
🚨NEW — Harvard University is found to be in violation of Title 6 of the civil rights act which aims to prevent discrimination based on race, color, & national origin.

Some examples from that statement:
The majority of Jewish students reported that they experienced negative bias or discrimination…while a quarter of Jewish students at Harvard felt physically unsafe…Â
Jewish and Israeli students were assaulted and spit on…Â
They hid their kippahs for fear of being harassed…Â
Images were widely circulated…including one that showed a dollar sign inside of a star of David…Â
Vandalized with anti-Semitic stickers including one that showed the Israeli flag with a swastika…Â
Violent protests that violated the university’s rules of conduct…Â
The demonstrations called for genocide and murder, denied Jewish and Israeli students access to campus spaces…
This is horrific and shocking behavior for an institution that is, supposedly, an elite establishment of education – or, it was. And this isn’t the only such Ivy League/elite university where such unforgivable behavior is taking place.
