Experts called out Harvard University as 'unbalanced' and 'DEI-obsessed' after the Ivy League institution announced its recommendations for an antisemitism task force.

Critics are blasting task forces created by Harvard University in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war following a series of recommendations released in late June. In the aftermath of the Israel-Hamas war, the Ivy League university announced the establishment of task forces focused on 'combating anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian bias and antisemitism' on campus. Those task forces released their preliminary recommendations in a report to Harvard’s interim president, Alan M. Garber.

Liora Rez, the founder and executive director of StopAntisemitism, blasted the recommendations in an interview with Fox News Digital. 'They actually make things worse,' Rez said. 'First, they are unbalanced. There is a task force on combating anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian bias while the other focuses only on combating antisemitism.

The scandal worsened after Gay was accused of plagiarism in her academic work. After facing dozens of plagiarism allegations, Gay released a letter to members of the Harvard community, saying she was stepping down as president but would return to the Harvard faculty. Harvard Provost Alan M. Garber, an economist and physician who is the school's chief academic officer, took the helm of the prestigious university in January.
