Multiple Investigations Launched into Discrimination at Harvard and NYC Department of Education

The Department of Education (DOE) has initiated an investigation into Harvard University following allegations of antisemitism on its campus. The inquiry was prompted by a complaint stating that the school failed to address reports of harassment incidents involving Jewish and Israeli students during the Israel-Hamas conflict. Harvard is among several institutions under investigation for potential violations of federal law prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The DOE's investigation comes amid heightened concerns about antisemitism on college campuses, with Harvard's president and other university leaders called to testify before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
