Whistleblower Says Ivy Probes Lacked Evidence

“The Trump administration task force charged with investigating antisemitism on Ivy League campuses pressured universities into punitive settlements despite turning up little to no evidence of systemic abuse, according to a whistleblower complaint made public Tuesday,” the Washington Post reports.

“The complaint — filed by Haley Van Erem, a former career attorney in the Justice Department’s civil rights division who said she was involuntarily detailed to work on the probes last year — alleged that the outcomes of investigations into schools like Harvard, Brown and Columbia were ‘predetermined without regard to the evidence’ in a ‘politically mandated effort’ to suspend their government funding and grab headlines.”
