Trump increases the heat in Harvard: Here are five reasons for the University’s own research

The Trump administration increased its war with Harvard University on Tuesday, announcing that it will raise the remaining $ 100 million of the university in federal funding, finally all financial links with the IVY League institution.

“The Government is out of business with Harvard University,” a senior administration official said in Fox News Digital.

In the center of the struggle are Harvard’s accusations that did not fight an anti -Semitism Campus culture. Although the university accuses the White House of Overcoming and insists that it defends freedom of expression, its own internal investigation seems to have given ammunition to Trump officials.

Earlier this year, Harvard President Alan Gerber called the academic year of 2023–2024 “ disappointing and painful ”, as he unveiled the results of two separate work forces: one examining anti-Semitism and the other focused on anti-musulm and anti-Arabic bias.

The Task Force report on anti -Semitism painted a bleak image of life for Jewish and Israeli students on the campus.

Many said they felt ostracies, besieged online and not compatible by the university. Some students told researchers that they had been pressured by peers, and even teachers, to disassociate links with Israel to show that they were “one of the good ones.” Others chose to hide their Jewish identity completely.

Here is a look at the report, published on April 29.

Hostile environment for Jewish students

Harvard’s Jewish, Arabic and Muslim students reported to hear ostracied, pushed to the margins by their peers and to experience online harassment.

The Jewish and Israeli students told the task force of anti -Semitism that the University’s response to complaints was “unclear and little slow”.

Some Jewish students, according to the report, had been told by their peers and even teachers who were associated with “something offensive and, in some cases, their presence was an offense.”

Some decided to hide their identities from classmates, while others were asked to give up all links with Israel to show that they were “one of the good ones.”

Trump says Harvard’s foreign students are from countries that pay “nothing” for their education

“No other group said that their story was a shame, that they or their co-religious or co-Catalan were supremacists and oppressors, and they did not have the right to protections offered by anti-fed rules,” read a section of the report. “Many Jewish students told us they felt objects of suspicion.”

A Jewish postgraduate student said to the working group: “The Jews are being treated as the Republicans were when they were in college.”

This statement “of course, says another problem that elite universities have been fighting,” the report said.

Sometimes the reports of the Task Force Anti-Musulmans and anti-Semitism were apparently opposite to each other. Muslim and Pro-Palestinian students denounced a widespread fear of doxxing or having their publicly shared identifying information publicly with the intention of intimidating or harming them. They often denounced to see pictures of their faces on the sides of the trucks driven on the campus by pro-Israel groups.

Forty-seven percent of Muslim students declared physically insecure on the campus during the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 15% of Jewish respondents.

The anti-Semitism Report called for a set of rules for governing behaviors for classroom instructors, while the Task Force Anti-Muslim and Arabic requested that the university do more to protect academic freedom and free expression.

Academic biases

The anti -Semitism report found that Harvard’s classes often portrayed “partisan and unilateral pedagogy”, which did not take into account the Jewish and Israeli perspectives, especially within the divinity school and the divinity of the University and the School of Public Health.

The Task Force also documented cases when teachers canceled or ended the class at the beginning of the day of a pro-Gaza protest or “gave time to the end of the class for students to promote various solidarity groups such as the Palestinian Solidarity Committee.

The report recommended expanding courses on anti-Semitism, Judaism and Israeli-Palestinian conflict to foster a more inclusive and comprehensive academic environment.

“Anti-Sionist views seem integrated into some classes,” a student said.

Fox News Digital has contacted Harvard to comment on the report.

Political currency worsen

In the 1980’s and 1990’s, the report found that at the university “Pro-Israel Organizers and Pro-Palestinian organizers had not been strongly working together to build bridges and to jointly imagine a better future for the region.”

“These efforts began to fade in the 2000’s in the middle of the second Intifada and through the Israel-Hamas wars of the 2010 years, and when Hamas crashed through the Israeli border fence in 2023 the conditions in Harvard (as in the Middle East) were very different,” the report read.

Some pro-Palestinian organizers on the campus saw activities of construction of the bridge “as a form of betrayal,” found the report.

The report found that many students, including Jews, had “sympathy” for Israel’s “mass military response”, which followed on October 7, 2023 Attack Hamas in Israel.

However, the Campus Protesta “crossed a line from a call for freedom and safety for Palestinians and Jews for a stereotypical idea: that Israel is not a state, but a” colony of settlers “of white Europeans who have no real connection with the earth they had stolen, this epitomized aggression and was heavy of virtues.”

The admission process caused the Jewish population to decrease

The report found that changes in Harvard’s admission policies meant that in 2023, the Jewish student community was much lower than it was in the early 2010’s.

The hostility that some students have heard, the report found, was “degrading” to the university, and some Jewish students rejected income bids to Harvard.

Some Jewish students who are committed to doctoral degree said they decided to leave for private industry jobs due to the perception that the academic field is “not friendly with Jews”.

Some non -Jewish teaching staff told the Task Force that Jewish candidates had rejected postdoctoral scholarships in Harvard, and students at the Jewish School of Medicine moved away from Harvard’s residences “due to the deep politicization of climate.”

The working group determined that Harvard should change their admission policy to reflect “how the campus should look like: the people who hear.”

Lack of educational supervision

The working group also found a lack of supervision on the seemingly university educational content.

The Harvard Chan School of Public Health, for example, launched a Palestinian program in 2022, which is run by a “leadership” group of five individuals, none of which has no faculty appointment in Harvard.

“The use of the Harvard brand for a research or teaching project creates expectations between Harvard’s teachers, staff, students and the wider audience. The programs that operate without the guidance and supervision of the regular Harvard faculty with a risk of expertise that are not in these expectations,” found the working group.

In another example, the Task Force found that the Master’s Degree in Religion and Public Life was bad. The program is announced as students a better understanding of religion to illuminate various contemporary topics.

Both teachers and students did not expect the program to be as focused on the Israeli theme -Palestinian as it was, and some students found that “offers of programs and materials disproportionately presented the Israelis and Jews as guilty of monstrous historical crimes, who require repetition and repair.”

The program “seems to have focused on non -later Jewish religious perspectives that do not have widespread support within the Jewish diaspora or Israel”. He also linked the Jews to “two great sins”, according to the working group: the creation of the State of Israel and the participation in the white supremacy, which personal “It seemed openly hugging.”
