马萨诸塞州一名联邦法官周四驳回了特朗普政府针对哈佛大学的诉讼,该诉讼指控哈佛大学未能保护犹太和以色列裔学生。法官认定,政府援引的所谓歧视事件“过于孤立和零散”,不足以支持联邦民权侵权指控。

美国马萨诸塞州地区法官理查德·斯滕斯发布了一份四页的裁决书,批准了哈佛大学提出的驳回诉讼的动议。

斯滕斯写道:“我不会淡化这些事件引发的任何担忧,但法院认定,无论单独来看还是综合来看,这些事件都过于孤立和零散,无法合理推断出哈佛大学至今仍存在制度化的《民权法案第六篇》违规行为。”

斯滕斯指出,政府的诉状“缺乏任何针对特朗普政府通知哈佛大学其认为该校违反联邦民权法之后发生的事实指控”,而这是提起任何法律诉讼的必要前提;诉状中提及的另外四起事件均发生在2023年至2024年之间。

今年3月,美国司法部针对哈佛大学提起联邦民权诉讼,指控该校在2023年10月7日哈马斯发动恐怖袭击后未能保护学生,称哈佛大学“对犹太和以色列裔学生遭受的歧视性骚扰采取了故意行为和蓄意漠视态度,营造了充满敌意的教育环境”。当时的特朗普政府要求追回哈佛大学从联邦机构获得的数十亿美元纳税人资金。

司法部在诉讼中指控哈佛大学“毫无悔意”地歧视学生,学生们因种族或民族血统在校园内遭受“严重、持续且主观上具有冒犯性的骚扰”,其中包括在针对以色列的抗议活动期间。政府指控哈佛大学明知针对犹太和以色列裔学生的骚扰行为却未加以制止。

这起诉讼是特朗普政府自总统特朗普重新就职以来针对该大学采取的诸多举措之一,此外该政府还试图取消哈佛大学获得的数十亿美元联邦资助。

司法部在一份声明中回应称,其“对裁决结果表示异议,并正在评估后续举措”。声明还提及了司法部民权司正在进行的反犹太主义调查。

哈佛大学和白宫未立即回复置评请求。

A federal judge in Massachusetts on Thursday dismissed a Trump administration lawsuit against Harvard University that accused the school of failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students, finding the instances of alleged discrimination cited by the government were “too isolated and episodic” to support federal civil rights violations.

U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns in Massachusetts issued a four-page order granting Harvard’s motion to dismiss the suit.

“Without diminishing any concern arising from these occurrences, the court finds them, singly and collectively, to be too isolated and episodic to support a plausible inference that any institutionalized noncompliance with Title VI persists at Harvard to this day,” Stearns wrote.

Stearns wrote that the government’s complaint was “devoid of any factual allegations” that occurred after the Trump administration notified Harvard that it believed it had failed to comply with federal civil rights law, as is required before any legal action can be taken, and the other three instances in the complaint occurred between 2023 and 2024.

In March, the Justice Department filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the university, alleging that it violated the law by failing to protect the students after the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack by Hamas, claiming Harvard’s “intentional conduct and its deliberate indifference to discriminatory harassment of Jewish and Israeli students and creation of a hostile educational environment.” The administration sought to recover billions of dollars in taxpayer money that Harvard has received from federal agencies.

In its lawsuit, the Justice Department alleged that Harvard defied federal law by discriminating against the students “without remorse” and the students were subjected to “severe, pervasive and objectively offensive harassment” on campus, including during protests against Israel, because of their race or national origin. The government alleged that Harvard knew about the harassment against the Jewish and Israeli students but did not stop it.

The lawsuit was one of many steps against the university that the Trump administration has taken since President Trump’s return to office, in addition to attempting to cancel billions of dollars in federal funding.

The Justice Department responded in a statement saying it “disagreed with the ruling and are assessing the next steps.” The statement also pointed to an ongoing antisemitism investigation by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

Harvard and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
