A judge threw out the Trump administration's Title VI lawsuit against Harvard over alleged discrimination against Jewish students, sending the DOJ back to the drawing board.
A federal judge threw out the Trump administration's Title VI lawsuit against Harvard, which alleged discrimination against Jewish students. The judge found the Title VI claims lacked legal merit, forcing the DOJ back to the drawing board.
The lawsuit was a centerpiece of the administration's civil rights enforcement strategy under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Title VI gives the government a tool to challenge discrimination in federally funded programs. The dismissal doesn't mean discrimination didn't happen; it means the legal theory the DOJ selected to challenge it doesn't work. The administration will have to find a different legal avenue or different facts to prove the case. It's a tactical loss but also signals that courts aren't giving the administration the legal flexibility it expected on this particular approach.
