On the contrary, the issue is that Harvard allowed pro-Hamas students to attack and persecute Jewish students. Harvard failed to protect the Jewish students, even rewarded those students who intimidated Jewish students on campus. Pro-Hamas students barged into classrooms with bullhorns. Camped out on campus and prevented Jewish students from reaching their classrooms, forming lines and locking hands outside of classrooms to prevent Jews from attending classes.
Harvard recently released a 311-page report detailing these issues[0].
It's for this reason that the federal government is withholding its funding: we don't want to fund open racism and race-based discrimination on American campuses.

Can you be more specific about what was detailed in the report and where? Because the things you mention aren't in your linked article at all.
There were protests that got way too heated, but calling them "pro-Hamas students" has me, uh, doubting your take on this a bit. The highlights called out in your article are wholly different, focused instead on campus behavior that seems drawing back from embracing diversity and is instead alienating whole cultures.

We aren't talking about funding, though? We're talking about denying attendance by any international student.
Sure. One example in the opening paragraphs of the report: a Jewish student was set to give a presentation on how his grandfather survived the Holocaust and found refuge in Israel after the war.
He was told not to give the presentation because it would "justify oppression."
The report also details Jewish students were called out in classrooms, told they were oppressors, that their history is a sham, and that anti-racism norms do not apply to supremacists.
Protests on campus pressured Jews to disavow allegiance to Israel and the right of Jews to return to their historic homeland; Zionism. Those who didn't comply were harassed and deemed complicit in supposed crimes of the world's only Jewish state.
Pro-Hamas groups on campus disseminated cartoons of a hand with a star of David holding nooses around the neck of Blacks and Arabs.
After Hamas invaded Israel on October 7th, 33 Harvard student groups praised Hamas and blamed Israel.
Harvard invited commencement speakers who blamed Israel for the genocide in the Congo.
The Harvard page report contains all this and more, and found that over 60% of Jewish students at Harvard had faced discrimination.
