The Trump administration on Wednesday challenged Harvard University’s accredited status due to accusations that the school violated federal civil rights laws in its handling of antisemitism on campus.

President Donald Trump’s administration is intensifying its fight against Harvard University, warning that its accreditation may be in danger and formally moving to subpoena the school in a bid for information on foreign students.

The actions were taken in the name of antisemitism, as the Trump administration claimed Harvard failed to protect Jewish students, particularly in the wake of the war in Gaza. Harvard rejected the administration’s demands and set the stage for a historic showdown.

The Trump administration has formally accused Harvard University of violating civil rights laws by not doing enough to combat campus antisemitism, and is threatening to pull all federal funding

Harvard is "in violent violation" of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the federal government’s Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism said Monday in a letter threatening to cut all the university's federal funding if changes aren't made.
