The Donald Trump administration has ruled that Harvard University in a “violent violation” of the Civil Rights Law must “immediately” reform or lose all federal funding.

In a letter to Ivy League University seen in the Times Financial, the Civil Rights Office of the Ministry of Health said that Harvard has violated the ban on the Civil Rights Law on discrimination based on race, color and national origin.

The ruling represents a new escalation between the Elite University and the Donald Trump administration, despite the president’s comments earlier this month that suggested The settlement can be close.

Harvard University has launched lawsuits that defy the administration’s movements against it, which includes efforts to stop federal financing and prevent the university from registering international students.

The message, which was sent on Monday, comes at a time when the administration presses the higher education institutions in the United States, including the University of Virginia, whose president is James Ryan to resign Last week after being attacked by the administration.

The administration claimed that Harvard was “in some cases indifferent, and in other cases she was a deliberate participant in anti -Semitic harassment of Jewish students, faculty and employees.”

He added: “Harvard’s commitment to racist hierarchical sequences – where individuals are sorted and judged according to their membership in a persecuted collective identity and not an individual advantage – enabled anti -Semitism from fading on the Harvard University campus and they once made an insult, and to provide educational mathematics and forcing Jewish students to hide their identities and stories.”

Many academics and civil groups, including some Jewish organizations, have criticized the Trump administration attacks on American universities as a threat to freedom of expression and academic freedom.

American university leaders recently signed statement They say they “must oppose the storming of the unjustified government” at the academy. “

Alan Garper, President of Harvard University, in April General reports It was assigned to the anti -Semitic and hostile bias for Muslims, which highlighted concerns and submit recommendations for reform.

At that time, he said that the university was writing its efforts and that “it is not possible – and Harvard will not adhere to intolerance. We will continue to provide the safety and security of all members of our society and protect their freedom from harassment.”

Harvard did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the latest procedure for the White House.
