How is this a violation of civil rights laws?


Have you read the letter from the administration? A quick summary: Harvard must immediately begin choosing applicants based on merit and not based on race, sex, etc. Harvard must discipline the students who participated in the hate crime of assaulting Jewish students in 2023. Harvard must stop including antisemitic texts or materials in its curriculum.

All of these are civil rights issues. Let's play a game. If it had been white supremacists beating black students, would that be a civil rights issue? If the request was to stop teaching materials racist against black people, would that not be a civil rights issue? And re admissions, either you believe in merit based evaluations or you believe in giving advantages to certain races. SCOTUS has been very clear that choosing based on race is a civil rights violation.


That's a very fancy way of saying the government can require all people to be nice to Jews under penalty of whatever. If that is the government you wish for, please exercise your right of return.


That’s literally the whole point of civil rights legislation.

Black people can eat at the diner counter and Jewish students can walk across the campus without being harassed.

😂😂😂 +1, indeed

PP wants to equate (A) centuries of slavery, lynching, systemic violence and mistreatment, violations of civil rights under color of law, vigilante racism, etc. with (B) college students who are uncomfortable hearing or seeing criticisms about a foreign country - a country whose policies and actions, mind you, have been condemned over and over again by essentially the entire planet.

I guess we have to suspend disbelief and listen to dipshits tell us that words hurt more than white phosphorus bombs dropped on churches and shelters. Oh, the feelings of it all …


So you don't believe Jews should be protected. We get it. We disagree.


Wrong. I believe in equal rights for all, including Jewish Americans.

But what are you referring to
… protected from what? From having to see or hear criticisms of Israel, a foreign nation scorned by the entire planet for its policies and actions? Yeah, you can F right the F off if that’s what you’re arguing they “should be protected” from. Nobody has a right to silence others.

Now it’s your turn - cite where Jewish American college students these past two years have faced mistreatment in the same universe of what African Americans and others (Arab Americans, Asian Americans, women, LGBTQ, etc.) have faced here in America for centuries … or just point me to where Jewish American students were attacked these past two years like the anti-war protestors were attacked by pro-Israel terrorists out on the West Coast last spring. Just one example will suffice … we’ll wait.


DP. If you believe in equal rights for all, why are you comparing the suffering of different Americans? You either believe everyone should be protected, or you don't. If you do, then you should be the first one calling for Harvard and other schools to protect their rights. But you're not. Instead, you're trying to minimize their suffering.


If protecting all civil rights was the goal than it wouldn’t be focused on antisemitism and specific schools would not be singled out as I guarantee all schools have faced issues. Further, what is needed to resolve the issue wouldn’t be targeting certain topics of study.


It's called executive (or prosecutorial) discretion. The DOJ has done so under many Democratic presidents. As for certain topics of study being targeted, please provide examples.


The administration does not have the legal right to make any of those demands they listed in the letter. You are also confusing government agencies or or didn’t actually read the demand letter. The letter to Harvard was signed by the Department of Education, HHS and GSA. The DOJ did not sign the letter.


What part of "executive discretion" did you not understand. DOJ was cited d as an example. The administration clearly thinks Harvard's actions are unlawful (and egregious) and has decided to make an example of it for other universities. Are you saying it can't do that? What happened to letting the courts decide?


The letter isn’t enforceable.

Removing tax exempt status is also unlawful. A president can’t directly or indirectly remove tax exempt status. What did Trump do? Tweet about it. That man is incapable of keeping his trap shut.

Why do we want rich students from *those* countries? When there is so much unmet demand here in the US that is. I know they only want rich international Asians.

Many foreign students, especially at top universities, steal intellectual property and engage in anti American activities.

They are guests and they sh6be deported if they do not act like guests.

If you think we need the federal government attacking a private academic institution, trying to blackmail them into creating two classes of students, and threatening to weaponize the IRS to revoke their nonprofit status in response to 100% lawful assembly and 100% lawful speech (both protected under our constitution), you are a clear enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
It may be lawful speech, but there is an extra factor. Does Harvard treat all lawful speech the same way?

The US government has an interest in not having students who are supporters of the assassination of RFK and the attempted assassination of Josh Shapiro. If Harvard is not helping the US government in removing such students, then the government can solve this problem by simply noy giving any student visas for Harvard. They can also pull the tax exemption.

Harvard should definitely screen their candidates for being anti-science conspiracy theory fascists. I’d hope that all of the top tier universities will joint them in screening their candidates for maga support and make sure that they are rejected and sent where they belong.

Unlike fake universities like Bob Jones and Trump, Harvard will far outlive these presidential tantrums.

Apple was started by a furener you know. Many of our companies are started by students who come from other countries and stay. We want the best and brightest to go to China? Our education is proving to be lacking. Our young people can’t even pass the military aptitude test.

You might want to consult 26 USC 7217. A crime for the President, the Vice President, any employee of the executive office of the President, and any employee of the executive office of the Vice President and any cabinet official to request, directly or indirectly, any officer or employee of the Internal Revenue Service to conduct or terminate an audit or other investigation of any particular taxpayer with respect to the tax liability of such taxpayer.

Assuming this were a case where revocation was a realistic possibility (it isn't), it would be a 3-7 year process.

What are you even talking about?

We’ve yet to see any argument, much less a credible, sober one, suggesting that Harvard doesn’t treat all lawful speech the same way. All we’ve seen are false claims by the administration and blatant efforts to dismantle essential protections enshrined in the Constitution hundreds of years ago.

However, what the administration is attempting to accomplish on college campuses (and in the public square) is explicitly designed to criminalize speech critical of a foreign state. And to require punishment of such speech that violates the core underpinnings of the Constitution.

THAT would be failing to treat all speech the same way.
