司法部起诉哈佛大学，指其歧视犹太与以色列学生违反《民权法》第六章
2026年3月20日，美国司法部民权司向位于马萨诸塞州的联邦地区法院提起诉讼，指控位于马萨诸塞州米德尔塞克斯县剑桥市的哈佛大学基于种族与国籍歧视犹太与以色列学生，违反1964年《民权法》第六章。司法部称，这是该部教育机会科提起的案件。
诉状指控，2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列之后，哈佛对校园内针对犹太与以色列学生的袭击、骚扰与恐吓长期漠视，选择性执行校规、未能有效纪律处占领校舍的学生团体；哈佛自己的反犹太主义总统工作组曾认定存在把以色列或犹太复国主义学生排除在社交空间与课外活动之外的情况，校方未予纠正。联邦法律禁止接受联邦资助的学校基于种族、肤色或国籍歧视学生。
司法部指出，哈佛目前仅凭卫生与公众服务部的在研资助就将获得超过26亿美元纳税人资金。诉讼要求法院责令哈佛遵守第六章，并追回其在违规期间接受的联邦资金。司法部长邦迪、卫生与公众服务部长小罗伯特·肯尼迪、助理司法部长 Dhillon 与卫生部民权办公室主任 Stannard 均在公告中表态支持起诉。诉讼中的指控尚待法院审理认定。
Justice Department Sues Harvard University Over Discrimination Against Jewish and Israeli Students
On March 20, 2026, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts accusing Harvard University, in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, of race and national origin discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The case was brought by the Educational Opportunities Section of the Civil Rights Division.
The complaint alleges that after Hamas' attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, Harvard was deliberately indifferent to assaults, harassment and intimidation of Jewish and Israeli students on its campus, selectively enforced its campus rules, and failed to meaningfully discipline groups that occupied its buildings. Harvard's own Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias had found the exclusion of Israeli or Zionist students from social spaces and extracurricular activities, the department said. Federal law prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in schools that accept federal funding.
The department said Harvard is currently set to receive more than $2.6 billion of taxpayer money under active grants from the Department of Health and Human Services alone. The complaint seeks to compel Harvard to comply with Title VI and to recover the taxpayer funds it accepted while in violation. Attorney General Pamela Bondi, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon and HHS Office for Civil Rights Director Paula M. Stannard all issued statements supporting the suit. The allegations remain to be decided by the court.
