[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the Justice Department threatening a lawsuit constitutes escalating.[/quote]

Anyone can threaten a lawsuit, that doesn't mean the suit is meritorious.[/quote]

Escalating and meritorious are two different things.[/quote]

That is true. You are correct that the Justice Department is escalating its threats. Nothing else has changed about whether their case has any merit, so really this isn't news beyond showing how the Justice Department is flailing.[/quote]

I think it shows how Harvard is stonewalling. If they have nothing to hide then why not produce the requested documents.[/quote]

If you read the whole thing, it's clear that part of their refusal is because the requested disclosures might be personally identifying for certain students and thus may be a FERPA violation. Further, if the division isn't properly authorized to conduct the investigation, Harvard ought to be challenging that kind of government overreach.

If their grounds for refusal are not legitimate, the DOJ can file suit and let the court determine that and order compliance.[/quote]
