Harvard promises changes after reports on antisemitism, Islamophobia

Source: Seattle Times

“A Harvard University task force released a scathing account of the university on Tuesday, finding that antisemitism had infiltrated coursework, social life, the hiring of some faculty members and the worldview of certain academic programs. A separate report on anti-Arab, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian bias on campus, also released Tuesday, found widespread discomfort and alienation among those students as well, with 92% of Muslim survey respondents saying they believed they would face an academic or professional penalty for expressing their political opinions. The findings come at a delicate time for the university. Harvard is being scrutinized by the Trump administration over accusations of antisemitism, and is fighting the administration’s withdrawal of billions of dollars in federal funding. Harvard has sued the administration in hopes of restoring the funding, the first university to do so.” (04/30/25)
