Judge dismisses Trump administration lawsuit alleging Harvard failed to protect Jewish students

A US federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Trump administration against Harvard University. The legal action had alleged that the university failed to adequately protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment following the onset of campus tensions.

In the ruling, the federal court concluded that the administration failed to plausibly demonstrate an ongoing violation of civil rights law. Specifically, the judge determined that the government did not prove Harvard acted with deliberate indifference toward the safety and civil rights of its Jewish students.
