Constitutional Law
The Trump administration referred Harvard University to the Justice Department on July 31, 2025, claiming the school violated civil rights law by allowing antisemitic discrimination during pro-Palestinian protests. The referral comes as Harvard fights to restore billions in frozen federal research funding. Critics say the probe weaponizes antisemitism accusations to silence legitimate criticism of Israeli military actions in Gaza.
