The DOJ alleges Harvard allowed antisemitic harassment, seeking to freeze over $2.6 billion in federal grants and recover funds due to civil rights violations.
- On Friday, March 20, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Harvard University in federal court in Massachusetts, alleging the institution violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment.

- This action mirrors federal scrutiny of other institutions, including Columbia University, which settled for $200 million in July, testing the boundaries of government enforcement over university research funding and civil rights compliance.
