Harvard pledges reforms following internal reports on antisemitism and anti-Arab bias

Main Idea: Harvard University says it will make changes to its academics and admissions after internal reports on antisemitism and anti-Arab bias, even as it clashes with the Trump administration over campus policy demands.

Key Points:

• Harvard released two long internal reports on campus antisemitism and anti-Arab prejudice after last spring’s pro-Palestinian protests.
• President Alan Garber said the school has made progress but will keep pushing reforms to protect open debate and academic freedom.
• The university plans to review admissions, hiring, discipline, and course content, and to add more training and expanded study programs.
• The Trump administration has frozen $2.2 billion in Harvard funding and wants the school to change admissions and curb campus activism; Harvard has sued.
