Harvard’s tense confrontation with the Trump Tok administration another expensive turn after the White House froze more than $ 2 billion in federal funds after the inability of the Ivy League school to reduce anti -Semitism.
Explaining his decision not to fulfill the orders of President Donald Trump destined to stop anti -Semitism, Harvard president Alan Garber said: “No government, without a place of which party is in power, must dictate what private universities can teach, those who can admit and hire, and what areas of study and research can pursue.”
On the contrary, the White House spokesman Kush Desai, sat that the Trump administration is “motivated by only one and one thing: to address anti -Semitism … Antisemy Protestants who inflict violins and assume the campus of campus is not a raw Jew in the uninterrues, a completely descriptive crude to intellectual research and federal investigations that federal federal research that federal They have a financing of schools.

The depressing point that is lost in this confrontation is that Harvard seems to be fighting against the Trump administration and the president’s joint task force to combat the hardest anti -Semitism than he has fought against semitism on his own campus.
Where was Harvard’s fierce resolution when the swastika and anti -Semitic stickers played near Hallel de Harvard? Or when a Harvard employee was filmed by scratching signs or Israeli hostages, including those of killed babies? Or when a student of the Israeli Business School was surrounded, harassed and shouted outside the Campus by Pro-Palestinian protesters for the atrocious crime of being Jewish?
Harvard is in fact a private university. But unlike Hillsdale College, a small university of liberal arts in Michigan that arrested federal funds in 1984, Harvard remains the receiver of billions of dollars of federal funds. That means that Harvard is subject to title VI of the Civil Rights Law of 1964, which prohibits discrimination against all students, including Jewish students, based on race, color or national origin.

Public or private, Harvard has the obligation to guarantee the safety of its student population. For harassment. For discrimination. For violence. These are very rudimentary expectations that Jewish students accuse the university of having neglected, which leads to atrocious violations of civil rights and a demand claiming that “Harvard, the leading university of the United States and Harwish or Jewish or Jewish or Jew or Jewish or Jew Jwish.
A simple question persists: Why is there so much controversy about the measures that are tasks to protect Jewish students? Did the federal government threatened to cut federal funds to universities that do not protect LGBTQ groups? Or no course. If masked KKK racists assaulted a university campus today, threatened to attack black students and university administration could not address that threat, would federal government intervention be condemned so redoniously? Rightly I wouldn’t.
