Just more than a week after President Donald Trump announced that he was very close to resolving his differences with Harvard University and reaching an agreement, his administration cited findings of a second probe into anti-Semitism and civil rights violations on the Ivy League campus.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights said Monday that Harvard acted “with deliberate indifference toward harassment of Jewish and Israeli students by other students and faculty from October 7, 2023, through the present.”
