A federal judge in Boston has dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit alleging that Harvard University repeatedly turned a 'blind eye' to antisemitism on its campus, sending the Trump administration's efforts back to the drawing board. The ruling comes after the Justice Department filed a complaint against Harvard in 2020, accusing the university of failing to address incidents of antisemitism. Harvard maintained that it was committed to combating hate speech and promoting diversity. The decision is seen as a significant setback for the Trump-era Justice Department's efforts to target universities accused of harboring anti-Semitic views.
