The university must also include names of all the people involved in preparing and editing the reports, drafts, or final versions of any of the documents, the letter said, and any information connected to an op-ed by the co-chairs of the antisemitism task force in The Harvard Crimson.

Harvard and HHS officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The task force at Harvard was launched last January — along with one on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias — in response to growing criticism over the university’s handling of rising tensions on campus in the months after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. The antisemitism task force released preliminary recommendations last June, which included clarifying Harvard’s values, acting against discrimination, bullying, harassment, and hate, as well as improving disciplinary processes.

The task force, in its initial recommendations, found that many Jewish students on campus had been subject to “shunning, harassment, and intimidation” since the Oct. 7 attacks. The task force’s initial recommendations said the “situation of Israeli students at Harvard has been dire.”

“They have frequently been subject to derision and social exclusion,” the recommendation said.

The task force on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bias, which also released preliminary recommendations in June, held listening sessions with about 400 people within the Harvard community. The sessions revealed a “deep-seated sense of fear among students, staff, and faculty,” along with feelings of “isolation” and “a pervasive climate of intolerance” for Muslims, Palestinians, Arab Christians, and others of Arab descent, as well as pro-Palestinian allies. Participants in the sessions also expressed concerns about freedom of speech and the suppression of pro-Palestinian voices.

Neither task force issued final recommendations at the end of the fall semester following the June recommendation, according to reporting from the Harvard Crimson.

The Trump administration’s Saturday request comes nearly a week after Harvard publicly stated it would not acquiesce to a list of extraordinary demands sent to the school’s leaders. It appears to be the latest threat directed at Harvard, which in recent days has been told it could lose its tax-exempt status and lose its ability to enroll international students.

In response to Harvard’s statement last week, the Trump administration’s antisemitism task force moved to freeze more than $2 billion of funding, much of it for biomedical research on subjects from tuberculosis to Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Previous demands from the Trump administration to Harvard included abolishing diversity programs, turning over admissions and hiring data to the federal government, commissioning external audits of specific academic programs the administration accused of antisemitism, and alerting federal authorities whenever a foreign student violated campus rules.
