Harmeet Dhillon

last week for its persistent refusal to provide data to us, which we're entitled to.

The Department of Justice is one of the many federal grant making agencies that gives money to Harvard, which last year received over $2.6 billion in federal funding.

And each of the agencies, be it the NIH or the Department of Education, other aspects of HHS and DOJ,

We all have a right to confirm whether Harvard is complying with federal law.

And in my case, I'm particularly interested in whether they're complying with the lawsuit they lost at the Supreme Court students for fair admissions.

And Harvard has been playing hide the ball with their data and refusing to provide us with the information we need to assess whether they're in compliance, which of course begs the question, why are they doing that?

And so- Well, yeah.

That's right.

And in fact, even as I was preparing to file this lawsuit,

troubling evidence came out in a report that I saw that showed that Harvard appears to have increased the number of Asians admitted in response to students for fair admissions, but not whites.

And again, that's a violation of the law.

I mean, Harvard's discrimination policies go back decades.

There was a time when Harvard blatantly discriminated against Jews.

Now they're blatantly discriminating in recent history against Asians and whites.

And I can't tell if they've stopped doing it or not because while they keep sending their emissaries to various people in the administration to try to reach a deal, they appear to be talking out of both sides of their mouths because to date, even though the president's certainly been willing to come to the table, they have simply refused to negotiate with us in good faith.

And so we're forced to file this lawsuit and there may be others.

Well, absolutely.

So I'm gonna point first to the half a dozen or so institutions of the elite institutions that have reached settlements with the United States.

I want to really commend and call out Columbia University.

They had a pretty horrific pattern and practice of anti-Semitic and discriminatory conduct there, as well as DEI issues.
