"Any institution found to be in violation of federal compliance standards may face administrative actions, including contract termination."
In a statement, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said that Harvard's reputation was "in serious jeopardy" over the prevalence of antisemitism on campus.
"Harvard has served as a symbol of the American Dream for generations — the pinnacle aspiration for students all over the world to work hard and earn admission to the storied institution," McMahon's statement read. "Harvard’s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic [sic] discrimination — all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry — has put its reputation in serious jeopardy."

"Since Oct. 7, Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and antisemitic harassment on their campuses — only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them," McMahon said at the time. "Universities must comply with all federal antidiscrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding."
