A program at Harvard University meant to identify the descendants of people previously enslaved by university affiliates has been outsources, while its staff was terminated, a report said.

Staff told Harvard's student newspaper that they were not given any advance notice of the decision to lay off staff and outsource research to a nonprofit.

Employees were notified about their termination on Thursday — effective the same day. The post Harvard outsources Slavery Remembrance Program, lays off staff appeared first on Boston.com.

Harvard University has settled two lawsuits accusing the Ivy League school of failing to protect Jewish students from antisemitic bullying and harassment on campus.

The litigation piece of the effort to hold Harvard accountable is, fortunately, not yet over. The only non-anonymous plaintiff in the case, Alexander “Shabbos” Kestenbaum, who spoke at the Republican National Convention and has repeatedly testified before Congress on the topic, is moving ahead with discovery in the case.
