Trump administration investigating Harvard Law Review for alleged discrimination
The Trump administration is investigating allegations that the Harvard Law Review discriminates based on race "in lieu of merit-based" standards.
“… The civil rights offices of the Education and Health and Human Services departments announced Monday they are investigating the Harvard Law Review, an independent, student-run organization that promotes legal scholarship.
The offices are investigating allegations that the journal discriminates based on race "in lieu of merit-based" standards, in violation of the Title VI anti-discrimination law, according to a release by the two agencies.
… "Harvard Law Review's article selection process appears to pick winners and losers on the basis of race, employing a spoils system in which the race of the legal scholar is as, if not more, important than the merit of the submission," Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary within the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights, said in a statement on Monday….”

The department is demanding the university issue a statement to its community that it will comply with the law, apologize to athletes whose athletic participation was "marred by sex discrimination," and restore all athletics records or accolades "misappropriated by male athletes." The school has 10 days to resolve the violation or risk a referral to the Department of Justice….”

Harvard Promises Changes After Reports on Antisemitism and Islamophobia
The two reports, which run hundreds of pages, come at a difficult time for the university, which is suing the Trump administration over federal funding cuts.
“A Harvard task force released a scathing account of the university on Tuesday, finding that antisemitism had infiltrated coursework, social life, the hiring of some faculty members and the worldview of certain academic programs.
A separate report on anti-Arab, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian bias on campus, also released on Tuesday, found widespread discomfort and alienation among those students as well, with 92 percent of Muslim survey respondents saying they believed they would face an academic or professional penalty for expressing their political opinions.
…
The antisemitism report was produced by a task force made up mainly of faculty, but that also included students, a former Hillel director and Harvard’s chief community and campus life officer, whose title was changed from chief diversity and inclusion officer on Tuesday. The report said that bias incidents had been occurring before the Hamas attack and were intensified by the war in Gaza. It found that antisemitism seemed to be more pronounced in branches of the university with a social justice bent, including the graduate school of education, the divinity school and the school of public health.
A similar task force held hundreds of conversations with Muslim, Arab and Palestinian students, staff and faculty members about anti-Muslim bias. That task force summed up the feelings expressed by many of those people in two words: “abandoned and silenced.” …”

The Jewish student population at Harvard University is estimated to be around 10% of the undergraduate student body, according to Hillel International. This translates to roughly 700 Jewish students. For graduate students, the percentage is higher, reaching 52.5

Is this from one of the NYT focus groups? There have been 3 or 4 I’ve seen over the last 7 months or so that have been interesting/informative on one hand and depressing/terrifying on the other.

Between this comment and his apparent true belief that Abrego-Garcia has MS13 on his knuckles, I think whatever cog cocktail he’s been on is starting to fail. IMO, his brain registered “black man asking question, har-word, black people are synonymous with Harlem, must pander … Harvard” and then proceeded with one of the most asinine answers in the history of a man replete with asinine answers. His ability to circle back to Harvard, however muddled and tortured, is evidence of a modicum of working memory and self monitoring, but ffs that answer was mental.
