A letter from the chief attorney for the Office of Civil Rights Boston office obtained by Fox News reveals that the department will be investigating whether Harvard “failed to respond to alleged harassment of students based on their national origin (shared Jewish ancestry and/or Israeli) in a manner consistent with the requirements of Title VI.” …

The department announced seven investigations Nov. 16, including Lafayette College, Cornell University, Columbia University, Wellesley College, University of Pennsylvania, The Cooper Union, and Kansas’ Maize Unified School District. Five of these investigations stem from allegations of anti-Semitism, while two stem from allegations of Islamophobia, per Politico.
