Education Secretary Linda McMahon, in the latest “Pod Force One” episode, warned Harvard administrators that she could drop the “hammer” on the Ivy League university should it continue quietly pursuing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that run afoul of federal law. President Trump issued executive actions seeking to eliminate DEI at Harvard and other universities shortly after taking office in January 2025; the Department of Education also launched investigations into the Cambridge, Mass. , school over alleged anti-semitism on campus and race-based admissions policies; and the DOJ sued Harvard for allegedly withholding data about those admissions.
