🇵🇸 Weaponizing DEI: Inside the Trump-Backed Crackdown on Palestine Solidarity
In April 2024, the Heritage Foundation published a follow-up titled “Harvard and DEI: An Expensive Lesson.” It referred to pro-Palestinian student protesters as “pro-Hamas students” while accusing #DEI of discriminating against Jews. The piece also examined how the #Trump administration has suspended $9 billion in federal grants and contracts awarded to Harvard University and local affiliates, including Boston-area hospitals, pending the university’s compliance with specific demands. Chief among them: a crackdown on DEI and alleged campus #antisemitism.
As at Columbia #University—where the Trump administration canceled $400 million in grants—Harvard has also been asked to comply with additional federal demands. These extend beyond limiting pro-Palestinian activity. The administration has requested “full cooperation” with the Department of Homeland Security and other regulatory bodies.
