Harvard antisemitism suit dismissed; multi-billion-dollar dispute

U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit against Harvard, ruling that the alleged antisemitic incidents were too isolated and episodic to show an ongoing violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The ruling ends the district-court case, though an appeal could follow, and Harvard says it has taken steps to address harassment.
