Harvard University settled a lawsuit by a former divinity student who claims that Jewish students face widespread antisemitism on campus and who supports President Donald Trump’s efforts to force change at US schools.
Shabbos Kestenbaum sued Harvard University over allegations it did not do enough to curb antisemitism. He had continued his lawsuit even after other students settled.
Harvard University and Shabbos Kestenbaum have reached an agreement to resolve their ongoing litigation,” Harvard said in a statement.
As the Trump administration halts about $2.7 billion in Harvard University funding, the school’s president is absorbing some of the financial impacts by taking a 25 % pay cut, according to a university spokesperson.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said on Monday that it was terminating $60 million in federal grants to Harvard University saying the Ivy League institution failed to address antisemitic harassment and ethnic discrimination on campus.
