In unrelated news, a federal court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against Harvard University. The lawsuit, initiated in March, accused the prestigious university of failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment, citing several incidents during pro-Palestinian protests. The court found that the administration had not proven discrimination based on ethnicity, nationality, or other grounds. The legal dispute stems from Harvard's refusal to accept demands for state oversight of its admissions, hiring practices, and political orientation.
