"This is a monumental victory... "we're hopeful this will serve as a template," says Linda Mahon, Secretary of Education, of her investigation into DACA scholarships and Secretary of State Marco Rubio's probe into Harvard's international visas.
Columbia is paying a heavy price - over $220 million - for going so far astray. It has now agreed to the principles of merit, nondiscrimination, transparency, and justice it should have followed from the beginning. This resolution with the government is a big win, a fair model, and a warning for other universities that need reform. Harvard should be next.
Harvard's government grants are subject to civil rights
compliance with both federal law and federal policy. Harvard has
tolerated antisemitism in violation of both. The government should win the
Harvard lawsuit because taxpayers have no duty to pay Harvard billions when its
campus culture pervasively violates civil rights. If Harvard researchers want
to cure diseases, they would be better off at a university without Harvard's
problems.
