Harvard to Review Its Policies Amid Trump Administration Legal Fight

Harvard University announced Tuesday it will review its admissions policies, academic offerings, and faculty standards in response to two internal reports on antisemitism and anti-Arab bias commissioned after last year’s pro-Palestinian protests. The move comes as Harvard battles the Trump administration in court over demands to curb campus activism—a clash that has placed $2.2 billion in federal funding on hold and is being closely watched across higher education.

In a message to the campus, Harvard President Alan Garber said the university has made “necessary changes and essential progress” over the past year but pledged deeper reforms. “We will redouble our efforts to ensure that the University is a place where ideas are welcomed, entertained and contested in the spirit of seeking truth,” Garber wrote.
