Earlier this month, a federal judge dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit against Harvard on the grounds that the antisemitism alleged by the Justice Department was "too isolated and episodic" to show that Harvard had violated federal law.

While this was a setback in the valiant effort by the federal government to address campus antisemitism, federal efforts alone will not result in meaningful change.

The root of the problem is a rotten academic culture that begins in the classroom and is protected and fueled by administrators. Whoever owns the classroom owns the culture, and that culture is primarily responsible for the threat to Jewish safety today.

JUDGE’S HARVARD ANTISEMITISM RULING SENDS TRUMP JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BACK TO DRAWING BOARD

Recently, 170 Harvard faculty members — Jews and non-Jews alike — published an open letter highlighting antisemitic incidents that have taken place at the institution. These incidents included an Israeli undergraduate student at Harvard being "told to leave a classroom by an instructor because her being Israeli made other students uncomfortable."

Other Jewish students experienced demands to "renounce Zionism" and faced ostracism when they refused. Such incidents are allowed to happen by administrators who foster a culture of impunity.
