T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Disgraceful Failures: Antisemitism, Student Harm, and CCP Collusion Under Justified Federal Scrutiny

From Prestigious Institution to Pariah: How HSPH’s Antisemitic Culture and CCP Ties Betrayed Students

Harvard University, once a beacon of academic excellence, has transformed its T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) into a hotbed of chaos and disruption, fostering a toxic environment of antisemitism and anti-Israeli bias that has justifiably drawn the full weight of federal scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security, and Congress. The university’s egregious failures, as detailed in the Final Report of the Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias released on April 29, 2025, reveal a shameful betrayal of its students, particularly Jewish and Israeli affiliates, who endured a living hell of discrimination, harassment, and institutional neglect. Harvard’s complicity in allowing faculty and programs to perpetuate hate, coupled with its unethical collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), warrants not only the government’s aggressive interventions but also civil rights lawsuits from students for the profound harm inflicted. Every available law should be leveraged to hold Harvard accountable, and affected students deserve compensation for the university’s gross violations of their rights.

The 321-page report explicitly identifies HSPH as a primary site of antisemitism, with Harvard acknowledging on page 8 that the school’s leadership inherited significant challenges during the 2023-24 decanal transition, underscoring its problematic practices. HSPH’s collaboration with the CCP’s Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC) a sanctioned entity complicit in the Uyghur genocide further stains its reputation, intensifying federal investigations and a $2 billion funding freeze by the Trump administration. This article examines HSPH’s shameful treatment of students, its problematic practices as acknowledged by Harvard, the CCP’s corrosive influence, and the justified government response, alongside financial context.

Harvard’s Ties to the CCP and Why the U.S. Government Is Cracking Down

 

Uncovering the Controversy Behind Harvard’s Chinese Connections and DHS’s Unprecedented Action

Harvard University, one of the world’s most prestigious schools, is under fire for its connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), particularly a group called the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC). This controversy has led to a shocking decision by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll new international students starting in the 2025-2026 academic year. In this article, we’ll break down what’s happening in simple terms, explain the allegations about Harvard’s ties to the CCP, and clarify why DHS is taking such a drastic step. We’ll also look at whether students are directly involved and what this means for Harvard’s future.

What’s the Issue with Harvard and the CCP?

Harvard has been accused of working with the XPCC, a CCP-controlled paramilitary group tied to serious human rights abuses in China’s Xinjiang region. The XPCC is involved in the Uyghur genocide, where millions of Uyghur Muslims have faced forced labor, mass detention, and cultural erasure. In 2020, the U.S. government sanctioned the XPCC under the Global Magnitsky Act, banning American institutions from doing business with it.

Despite these sanctions, Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health reportedly hosted training programs for XPCC officials in 2019, 2023, and as recently as 2024. These programs, part of the China Health Partnership, were designed to teach Chinese officials about healthcare systems, like how to set up insurance programs. The problem? Some of the participants were from the XPCC, a group the U.S. considers a major human rights violator. Critics argue that Harvard’s actions not only broke U.S. sanctions but also gave legitimacy to a group responsible for atrocities.

Beyond the XPCC, Harvard has broader ties to China that raise eyebrows. Since 2012, the university has received over $1.1 billion in foreign funding, with a significant chunk coming from Chinese sources, including $151 million from foreign governments since 2020. Harvard has also partnered with Chinese universities like Tsinghua and Zhejiang, which are linked to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), China’s military. Some of these collaborations, oddly enough, were even funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, raising concerns about whether Harvard’s research could be helping China’s military.
