NEW: Harvard University, in the midst of its funding fight with the Trump administration, released its long-awaited anti-Semitism report on Tuesday.
It provides a scathing account of life at the Ivy League institution in the wake of Oct. 7, finding that "politicized instruction" in four Harvard schools "mainstreamed and normalized what many Jewish and Israeli students experience as antisemitism."
Here are some of the most damning details: 🧵
It provides a scathing account of life at the Ivy League institution in the wake of Oct. 7, finding that "politicized instruction" in four Harvard schools "mainstreamed and normalized what many Jewish and Israeli students experience as antisemitism."
Here are some of the most damning details: 🧵
At the Graduate School of Education, T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Divinity School, Jewish and Israeli students were routinely ostracized and subject to instruction "that effectively made a specific view on the Israel-Hamas conflict a litmus test for full classroom participation," according to the report.
In one example, a "Pyramid of White Supremacy" graphic disseminated to students in a required School of Education course stated that those who oppose the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement are engaged in "coded genocide."
At the School of Public Health, Jewish students raised concerns over anti-Israel webinars only to be asked, "Who is more marginalized, Jews or Palestinians?"
At the Divinity School, Jewish students were subject to "the embrace of a pedagogy of 'de-zionization'" in which instructors "attribute to Jews two great sins: first, in the Levant, the establishment of the State of Israel and the Palestinian Nakba; and second, in the United States, participation in White supremacy."
The report also outlines startling conduct within the medical school, where students actively worked to "discourage Zionist students from coming here."
At the Spring 2024 Admitted Students Preview Day, an event at which newly admitted students visit campus, enrolled students wore keffiyehs, put on "Palestinian-themed presentations," engaged in chants of "Free Palestine," and informed attendees that "Zionists are not welcome at HMS.”

The report includes anecdotes from students who were discriminated against for being Jewish or Israeli.
In one case, a Jewish student planned to deliver a short speech at a Harvard conference describing "how their grandfather survived the Holocaust by migrating to the then-British Mandate of Palestine," now Israel. The conference's directors objected, saying the speech was not "tasteful" and was "inherently one-sided because it does not acknowledge the displacements of Palestinian populations."

In another example, Jewish students said they were "routinely asked to clarify that they were 'one of the good ones' by denouncing the State of Israel and renouncing any attachment to it."
