The Trump administration filed a major lawsuit against Harvard University on March 20, 2026, alleging the school violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment after October 7, 2023. The suit seeks to recover more than $2.6 billion in federal grants and comes after failed settlement negotiations that saw demands escalate from $500 million to $1 billion, while Harvard calls the action "pretextual and retaliatory." The case raises fundamental questions about the line between combating antisemitism and using federal funding as a tool to impose political control over higher education.
