"The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights said Friday that it issued a letter giving Harvard University 20 days to submit documents related to admissions that it says the university has been refusing to provide. Those documents are related to an investigation OCR opened in May regarding whether Harvard is "using racial stereotypes and preferences in undergraduate admissions," according to the announcement."
""Despite OCR's repeated requests for data, Harvard has refused to provide the requested information necessary for OCR to make a compliance determination," the office continued, adding that the university will "face further enforcement action" if the information is not provided. The notice came the same day that the department announced it had placed the Ivy League institution on heightened cash monitoring status, which gives the government greater oversight of institutional finances."
The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights gave Harvard 20 days to submit admissions-related documents that the university has allegedly refused to provide. The documents concern an OCR investigation opened in May into whether Harvard used racial stereotypes and preferences in undergraduate admissions. OCR stated that repeated requests for data were denied and warned of further enforcement action if information is not produced. The department also placed Harvard on heightened cash monitoring status to increase oversight of institutional finances. These measures coincide with disputes over race in admissions, allegations of antisemitism, and a temporary federal grant freeze.
