Judge Dismisses the Trump Administration's Antisemitism Suit Against Harvard

Judge Richard Stearns threw out the Justice Department's Title VI suit seeking to claw back Harvard's federal funding, finding it had not pled any ongoing violation after the government's June 2025 notice.

The United States filed the Title VI enforcement action against Harvard on 20 March 2026^[1]
Judge Richard G. Stearns allowed Harvard's motion to dismiss, holding the government had not sufficiently pled an ongoing violation of Title VI^[1]
The complaint rested almost entirely on incidents from the 2023-2024 school year; the three from March 2025 were "too isolated and episodic" to infer institutional noncompliance^[1]
The suit sought to recover more than $1 billion in previously awarded grants and contracts and to cut Harvard off from future federal funding^[4]
The government notified Harvard of its alleged violation on 30 June 2025 but did not show noncompliance after that date^[4]
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said she disagreed with the ruling and was assessing next steps^[3]
The government filed a notice of appeal on 27 August 2026, docketed in the First Circuit as No. 26-1978 on 2 September^[2]
