Harvard has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the Trump administration earlier this year.
The lawsuit accused Harvard of failing to adequately address antisemitism on its campus.
In its motion to dismiss, Harvard argued the government’s case lacked legal standing.
The university contends it has taken significant steps to combat antisemitism since the October 7 attacks.
Administration officials have not yet responded to Harvard’s filing.
The case centers on allegations that Harvard violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
A ruling on the dismissal request is expected later this year.
The outcome could set a precedent for how universities handle discrimination complaints.
