Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHarvard University calls the Trump administration lawsuit over its treatment of Jewish students “another pretextual and retaliatory action” over its refusal to turn over control of the school to the government.
Harvard says in a statement that it is committed to ensuring that members of the Jewish and Israeli communities are embraced and respected, and can thrive on campus.
