The Trump administration on Wednesday challenged Harvard University’s accredited status due to accusations that the school violated federal civil rights laws in its handling of antisemitism on campus.

The actions were taken in the name of antisemitism, as the Trump administration claimed Harvard failed to protect Jewish students, particularly in the wake of the war in Gaza. Harvard rejected the administration’s demands and set the stage for a historic showdown.

Harvard University is "in violent violation" of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the federal government’s Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism said in a Monday letter threatening to cut all the school's federal funding if changes aren't made.

President Donald Trump signaled the feud could be coming to an end, saying, “It is very possible that a deal will be announced over the next week or so."
