Harvard (and to a lesser extent, the rest of the Ivy League) collects a lot of federal money, this comes with certain conditions around treating people fairly without respect to skin color, ethnicity, or religion.

A regular corporation with the same fact pattern of discrimination would be looking at a billion+ dollar fine.

this is just Harvard losing some special privilges and being expected to act reasonably fairly like any other publicly funded institution.
