A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against Harvard University. The administration alleged Harvard failed to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment. Judge Richard Stearns ruled the lawsuit did not show an ongoing civil rights violation. This decision means the legal challenge against the university has been unsuccessful. The court found no plausible evidence of current federal law breaches on campus.

The lawsuit was the basis for the Trump administration’s demands for Harvard to make financial and policy changes over pro-Palestinian protests in 2023 and 2024.

The judge said Donald Trump’s complaint was “devoid of any factual allegations.”
