Academics around the country are raising alarm about growing efforts to define antisemitism on terms pushed by the Trump administration

Judge Allison Burroughs, who noted in court that she is Jewish, said she would aim to rule quickly in the case.

A recent Washington Post investigation into the Trump antisemitism task force revealed that its work is also the cover for a broader ideological assault on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at universities. The administration’s settlement with Columbia University this week epitomizes this approach.

Federal officials pressuring Harvard University over allegations of mishandling antisemitism on campus considered an unprecedented tactic to force compliance: placing a lien on school property.

Hearings in cases over Trump's efforts to deport protesters and pull Harvard's federal funding were both held in a Boston courthouse on July 21.

The US says the UN's culture and education body is promoting "divisive social and cultural causes" - a claim the agency denies.

Lawyers for Harvard and the Trump administration pressed their cases in a Boston courtroom over the government's move to cut nearly $3 billion in federal aid to the university.

Harvard University was back in court Monday for a major hearing in its funding fight case against the Trump administration, a key step in a battle over restoring more than $2 billion in federal funding for research frozen by the White House this spring.
