Harvard University released its internal report on antisemitism and anti-Israel bias on campus, following months of delay and amid legal confrontation with the Trump administration. The 311-page report describes how Jewish and Israeli students have experienced exclusion, shaming and collective accusations from students, faculty and administrative staff since the October 7 massacre.
