This legal action marks an intensification in the federal government&#8217;s scrutiny of the university&#8217;s practices.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The lawsuit alleges that Harvard failed to provide necessary documentation related to its admissions programs, which are under investigation for potentially discriminatory practices.&nbsp;<\/p><p>This step by the Trump administration is part of a broader effort to examine the role of race in college admissions, raising significant questions about transparency and fairness in higher education. Harvard has been a focal point in the debate over affirmative action and whether such policies disadvantage certain groups while benefiting others. &nbsp;It is uncertain about the impact of lawsuits on&nbsp;ongoing discussions about admissions policies at universities across the United States.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> Inside Higher Education<br><strong>Read Original:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/government\/politics-elections\/2026\/02\/13\/doj-sues-harvard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/government\/politics-elections\/2026\/02\/13\/doj-sues-harvard <\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span><span>DOJ Sues Harvard<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-featured-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/sites\/default\/files\/2024-10\/GettyImages-1052823730.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"A photo of the Widener Library at Harvard University.\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span><span>Josh Moody<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><time datetime=\"2026-02-13T11:54:25-05:00\" title=\"Friday, February 13, 2026 - 11:54 AM\">Fri, 02\/13\/2026 &#8211; 11:54 AM<\/time><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration escalated its fight with Harvard on Friday, filing a lawsuit that accused the university of failure to comply with an investigation into admissions practices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-authors field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline clearfix\">\n<div class=\"field__label\">Byline(s)<\/div>\n<div class=\"field__items\">\n<div class=\"field__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/node\/4229\" hreflang=\"en\">Josh Moody<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[827],"tags":[800,824,128],"class_list":["post-32659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-higher-ed-news","tag-digital-education-trends","tag-education-news","tag-kapdec-learning-hub"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32659"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32666,"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32659\/revisions\/32666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapdec.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
