A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by the Trump administration that accused Harvard University of failing to protect Jewish students amid campus protests over the Gaza war. The decision represents another setback in the administration’s broader response to the wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations that swept U.S. college campuses.
The lawsuit was part of a series of legal actions taken by federal officials against universities following the outbreak of the conflict. According to the summary, the ruling is the latest in a string of legal reversals for the administration’s stance on the protests. No additional details about the judge’s reasoning were provided in the original report.
