Trump ramps up heat on Harvard: Here are 5 reasons from the university's own investigation

The Trump administration escalated its war with Harvard University on Tuesday announcing it will claw back the university's remaining million in federal funding effectively ending all financial ties with the Ivy League institution The regime is out of business with Harvard University fully a senior administration official stated Fox News Digital At the center of the fight are accusations of Harvard failing to combat a campus lifestyle of antisemitism While the university accuses the White House of overreach and insists it is defending free speech its own internal research appears to have handed Trump agents ammunition Earlier this year Harvard President Alan Gerber called the academic year disappointing and painful as he unveiled the results of two separate task forces one examining antisemitism and the other focused on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias The summary from the antisemitism task force painted a bleak picture of life for Jewish and Israeli students on campus Several reported they felt ostracized harassed online and unsupported by the university Several students advised investigators they had been pressured by peers and even the faculty to disavow ties to Israel to prove they were one of the good ones Others chose to hide their Jewish identity altogether Here is a look back at more findings of the review published April Jewish Arab and Muslim students at Harvard informed feeling ostracized pushed to the margins by their peers and experiencing online harassment Jewish and Israeli students recounted the antisemitism task force the university s response to complaints was unclear and unconscionably slow Specific Jewish students according to the account had been stated by peers and even faculty members they were associated with something offensive and in several cases that their very presence was an offense A few decided to conceal their identities from classmates while others were required to renounce any ties to Israel to prove they were one of the good ones TRUMP SAYS HARVARD'S FOREIGN STUDENTS ARE FROM COUNTRIES PAYING 'NOTHING' FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT No other group was constantly narrated that their history was a sham that they or their co-religionists or co-ethnics were supremacists and oppressors and that they had no right to the protections offered by anti-bias norms read one section of the statement A large number of Jewish students explained us they feel like objects of suspicion One Jewish graduate apprentice explained the task force Jews are now being treated like Republicans were when I was in college That comment of module points to another trouble with which elite universities have been struggling the document commented At times the anti-Muslim and antisemitism task force reports were seemingly at odds with each other Muslim and pro-Palestinian students communicated a widespread fear of doxxing or having their personal identifying information shared publicly with the intent to intimidate or harm them They released often seeing pictures of their faces on the sides of trucks driven around campus by pro-Israel groups Forty-seven percent of Muslim students revealed feeling physically unsafe on campus during the school year compared with of Jewish respondents The antisemitism review called for a set of rules to govern permissible behaviors for instructors in classrooms while the anti-Muslim and Arab bias task force called for the university to do more to protect academic freedom and free speech JUDGE TEMPORARILY PAUSES TRUMP MOVE TO CANCEL HARVARD TRAINEE VISA INITIATIVE AFTER LAWSUITThe antisemitism document determined Harvard classes often portrayed partisan and one-sided pedagogy that failed to account for Jewish and Israeli perspectives particularly within the university's divinity school and school of constituents medical The task force also documented instances when faculty canceled or ended class early on the day of a pro-Gaza protest or gave time at the end of class for students to promote various solidarity groups like the Palestine Solidarity Committee The description recommended expanding courses on antisemitism Judaism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to foster a more inclusive and comprehensive academic habitat Anti-Zionist views seem built into specific classes one scholar noted Fox News Digital has reached out to Harvard for comment on the summary In the s and s the account determined that at the university pro-Israel organizers and pro-Palestinian organizers had disagreed strongly yet often worked together to build bridges and to imagine jointly a better future for the region Those efforts started to fade in the s amidst the Second Intifada and through the Israel-Hamas wars of the s and by the time Hamas crashed through the Israeli dividing line fence in the conditions at Harvard as in the Middle East itself were very different the description read Various pro-Palestinian campus organizers viewed bridge-building exercises as a form of betrayal the analysis exposed The statement exposed that various students including Jewish ones had sympathy for Israel s massive military response that followed the Oct Hamas attack on Israel However campus protests crossed a line from a call for freedom and defense for Palestinians and Jews alike to a stereotyped notion that Israel is not a state but rather a settler colony of white Europeans who have no real connection with the land they had stolen that epitomized aggression and was bereft of virtues The statement determined that changes in Harvard s admissions policies meant that by the Jewish candidate region was much smaller than it was in the early s The hostility that several students had felt the review unveiled was degrading to the university and selected Jewish students turned down offers of admission to Harvard over it Specific Jewish students vying for doctorate degrees reported they decided to leave for private industry jobs because of the perception that academia is unfriendly to Jews Particular non-Jewish faculty members stated the task force that Jewish candidates had turned down post-doctoral fellowships at Harvard and Jewish clinical school students shied away from residencies at Harvard hospitals because of the deep politicization of the context The task force determined Harvard should change its admissions agenda to reflect what campus should look like people listening to each other The task force also ascertained a lack of oversight over seemingly university-endorsed educational content The Harvard Chan School of Population Strength for example launched a Palestinian project in that is run by a leadership collective of five individuals none of whom hold a tenure-track faculty appointment at Harvard The use of the Harvard brand for a research or teaching project creates expectations among Harvard faculty staff students and the broader population Programs operating without the guidance and oversight of Harvard s regular faculty with expertise exposure falling short of these expectations the task force unveiled In another example the task force determined the coursework for a master's degree in Religion and Citizens Life to be misrepresented The project is advertised as offering students a better understanding of religion to illuminate a range of contemporary issues Both faculty and students did not expect the plan to be as focused on the Israel Palestinian issue as it was and a few students discovered undertaking offerings and materials disproportionately presented Israelis and Jews as guilty of monstrous historical crimes which require both repentance and redress CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe venture appears to have focused on non-mainstream Jewish religious perspectives that lack widespread encouragement within the Jewish diaspora or in Israel It also linked Jews to two great sins according to the task force the creation of the state of Israel and participation in White supremacy which staff appeared to embrace openly
