CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Two task forces charged with proposing ways to combat anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and antisemitism at Harvard University have delivered their preliminary recommendations to the school’s interim president. School officials say the recommendations issued Wednesday focus on more than a dozen areas needing quick action. The recommendations follow a tough academic year for the university. That included the resignation of Harvard president Claudine Gay following her congressional testimony on antisemitism and the formation of pro-Palestinian encampments on campus. The task forces reported to interim president Alan Garber that there’s a perception that the university has fallen short of its stated values.
