Harvard, Law Review Face Federal Discrimination Probe | JQJO

The Trump administration launched investigations into Harvard University and the Harvard Law Review for alleged race-based discrimination, citing concerns about article selection and membership processes. These investigations follow a dispute over $2.2 billion in federal grants, frozen after Harvard refused to comply with demands to limit campus activism and address alleged antisemitism. The government alleges the Law Review's selection process favors certain races, violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Harvard maintains its commitment to compliance and notes the Law Review's student-run independence. A similar claim was dismissed by a federal court in 2018.
