Harvard is fighting on two fronts: in the courts and on its own campus.

The conflict between the Trump administration and Harvard University is escalating, with actions occurring both legally and on campus. The administration has demanded stricter measures against antisemitism on campus, sought to dismantle DEI programs, and pushed for greater “viewpoint diversity” in faculty and admissions. Harvard has strongly opposed these demands, citing the First Amendment and academic freedom, and has filed a lawsuit against the administration to challenge the funding freeze. Alongside the legal battle, Harvard has made some changes to its campus policies, such as renaming its DEI office and releasing reports on campus biases.
