WASHINGTON ¨C The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday it launched two more probes against Harvard University in its latest escalation against the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Ivy League school and other top U.S. universities.
The U.S. Education Department said its civil rights office ¡°opened two new investigations into Harvard ?University amid allegations that it continues to discriminate against students on the basis of race, color, and ?national ?origin¡± in violation of federal law.
The latest probes will look into whether Harvard ?uses race-based preferences in admissions after the U.S. Supreme Court¡¯s 2023 ruling that ended affirmative action in higher education, and into allegations of antisemitism on Harvard¡¯s campus, the Education Department said in a statement.
