He emphasized that Harvard will not tolerate bigotry and pledged to take concrete steps to address these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The university plans to review its admissions processes to ensure applicants are assessed on their ability to engage constructively with diverse perspectives, demonstrate empathy, and participate in civil discourse. This review is part of broader commitments to combat bias and improve campus climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-085705.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-123469\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-085705.png 708w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-085705-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Harvard\u2019s proposed actions fall short of the White House\u2019s demands to eliminate all preferences based on race, color, or national origin and to adopt strict merit-based admissions policies by August. The Trump administration has threatened to ban Harvard from enrolling foreign students and revoke its tax-exempt status if it does not comply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, Harvard has filed a lawsuit against the federal government, arguing that the administration\u2019s measures violate constitutional rights and improperly use federal funding to influence academic decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvard University President Alan Garber has issued an apology following the release of internal reports revealing widespread anti-Muslim prejudice on campus, BBC reported.
