00:00Disappointing and painful, that's how Harvard's president sums up a school year embroiled in turmoil after the terrorist attack in Israel and the start of the war in Gaza.
00:09As Brandon Truitt shows us, the university just released reports detailing anti-Semitism and Islamophobia on campus.
00:18The federal government wanted these reports by Friday, and it all comes as this university is in the thick of it with the current administration.
00:25It is a brutally honest look in the mirror for one of the most elite universities in the world, Harvard publishing a set of reports topping 500 pages, admitting they dropped the ball in handling anti-Semitism and Islamophobia on campus, from the start of the Israel-Hamas war to the encampments on Harvard Yard last year.
00:46I did hear stories from friends who were close to me about anti-Semitic incidents that they experienced.
00:51Muslim students were doxed, their personal information published to embarrass or expose.
00:56Students reported issues with one-sided curriculum, speakers and panels, feeling unsafe or bullied, with their concerns falling on deaf ears.
01:05In the report, one student said, despite reaching out to every office, everyone says it's not their problem.
01:11Right now, people feel like nobody cares, says another. We all understand it's open season.
01:17I don't think that polarization on this campus is going to be solved by, you know, another task force, another report.
01:24It is going to have to come from all of us.
01:27President Donald Trump listed anti-Semitism at Harvard as one of his reasons for freezing more than $2 billion in federal funding.
01:35But Jewish students I spoke with here aren't buying it.
01:38Not only is it not helping Jewish students, this assault on universities, but we don't even fully believe it is about us.
01:44We think it's a cover to attack the independence of universities, put international students on threat.
01:49In a letter Tuesday, Harvard's president wrote,
01:51I am sorry for the moments when we failed to meet the high expectations we rightfully set for our community.
01:57Harvard says they are making changes.
01:59Doxing is now officially against their code of conduct.
02:02And they're going to start requiring anti-Semitism training for faculty and students.
02:08In Cambridge, Brandon Truitt, WBZ News.
02:10All right, Brandon.
02:11Thank you.
