Jewish Harvard students and recent alumni say the atmosphere of antisemitism on campus after the October 7 attack has improved dramatically since President Trump took office, and they expressed doubt that the university has ignored the hostility toward Jewish and Israeli members of the university community, contrary to what the Trump administrationโ€™s latest lawsuit claims.

Although the Trump administrationโ€™s new lawsuit alleges that Harvard was โ€œdeliberately indifferentโ€ to antisemitism on campus, some Jewish Harvard students and recent graduates told National Review that the school has taken significant measures to improve the campus climate, and they no longer fear harassment from their peers.
