Amid federal pressure, Harvard rolls out new Israel collaborations in education and medical research
Harvard rolls out new Israel collaborations in education and medical research. In a marked shift under intense scrutiny from both federal authorities and major donors, Harvard University announced two significant new initiatives on Monday to expand its academic and research ties with Israel: an undergraduate study abroad program with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and a postdoctoral fellowship for Israeli biomedical researchers at Harvard Medical School (HMS). These moves come just months after the US Department of Education formally concluded that Harvard had failed to adequately address antisemitism on campus, resulting in substantial political pressure and the freezing of federal research funds. The developments also align with terms of a January 2025 legal settlement in which Harvard committed to forming partnerships with Israeli institutions, a settlement that followed lawsuits filed by two groups accusing the university of negligence toward antisemitic incidents. Partnership with Israel universities Earlier this month, Harvard's Office of International Education (OIE) formally added Ben-Gurion University, located in Be'er-Sheva, Israel, to its list of approved term-time international study programs. The program will launch in spring 2026 and will offer credit-bearing options for semester, year-long, or summer study. Participating students will join classes alongside Israeli peers, with all instruction provided in English. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Find Out If Your Auto Premium in Illinois Is Too High AutoSaveMax Learn More Undo The academic value of BGU's programs was a central factor in the decision. The university is internationally recognized for its strengths in climate research, desert agriculture, water sustainability, renewable energy, and biotechnology, fields where Harvard's own offerings are limited by geography and infrastructure. Through this partnership, Harvard undergraduates will gain access to unique field-based and interdisciplinary programs grounded in real-world regional challenges, especially those concerning desert ecosystems and advanced applied sciences. The collaboration expands Harvard's growing portfolio of Israeli academic partners, which already includes Tel Aviv University, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the University of Haifa. The research fellowship: Israeli postdocs to work at HMS Alongside the study abroad program, Harvard Medical School announced the Kalaniyot Postdoctoral Fellowship, designed to support Israeli scientists conducting two to three years of basic biomedical research at HMS or any of its affiliated hospitals in the Boston area. The fellowship is funded by the Blavatnik Family Foundation and the Dorot Foundation, with institutional support from the Kalaniyot Foundation, which maintains a chapter at HMS. According to a report by The Harvard Crimson , this initiative is among the first concrete steps taken to operationalise the university's settlement commitments related to antisemitism and institutional bias. The fellowship will specifically focus on early-career researchers in fields such as molecular biology, genetics, immunology, and regenerative medicine, areas where HMS leads in both faculty strength and infrastructure. While precise funding details have not been fully disclosed, The Harvard Crimson noted that the fellowship rollout closely follows a renewed $19 million pledge by billionaire Leonard Blavatnik to Harvard Medical School earlier this month. Blavatnik had previously paused donations in late 2023 to protest Harvard's response to campus antisemitism, but has since resumed philanthropic engagement. A portion of that $19 million commitment, more than $5 million, is reportedly earmarked for junior biomedical researchers, including those potentially supported by the Kalaniyot Fellowship. Federal sanctions and shifting university policy The timing of the announcements is widely seen as part of Harvard's broader response to federal sanctions and donor dissatisfaction. In April 2025, the Trump administration suspended close to $3 billion in federal research funding to Harvard after the USDepartment of Education concluded that the university had violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by demonstrating 'deliberate indifference' toward antisemitism and anti-Israeli discrimination on campus. In a confidential memo sent to Harvard on April 3, later made public in early July, the White House Office of Civil Rights indicated its approval of Harvard's decision to end ties with Birzeit University, a Palestinian institution in the West Bank. The memo further suggested that the US government would welcome new partnerships with Israeli institutions as evidence of Harvard's willingness to reform. By April 2025, Harvard had formally suspended its research partnership with Birzeit, citing allegations, long raised by critics, that the university had indirect links to Hamas. This decision followed recommendations from an internal task force on antisemitism and anti-Israeli bias, which issued a report in late April recommending that Harvard balance any regional engagement with parallel partnerships in Israel. Gaps and criticism remain Despite these changes, Harvard has not made comparable commitments to expand programs in Palestinian studies, Arabic language instruction, or Islamic studies, areas where many students and faculty have called for greater investment. The university has announced plans to increase support for the study of Hebrew, Judaic languages, and antisemitism, but critics say this rebalancing does not reflect a fully equitable approach to regional education. In recent months, student groups and faculty associations have urged Harvard to clarify whether its suspension of the Birzeit partnership is permanent, and whether future programming will represent a balanced academic inquiry into both Israeli and Palestinian society. Meanwhile, the university's new ties to BGU and the Kalaniyot Fellowship suggest a strategic realignment toward Israel, one that aligns with both US political demands and philanthropic expectations, but which may also generate ongoing debate on campus about academic freedom, regional equity, and institutional priorities.

AICTE chief stresses on need to teach science subjects in mother tongue
Kochi: Higher education, including subjects such as engineering and medicine, should also be taught in the mother tongue so that even those who are not proficient in English can learn these subjects, said All India Council for Technical Education ( AICTE ) chairman T G Sitharam while addressing the press on the sidelines of Njana Sabha organized by Shiksha Sanskriti Uttan Nyas. Sitharam said that the successful rollout of engineering textbooks in regional languages is ongoing, including the release of Malayalam texts last year. He cited the example of Maharashtra, where a batch of engineering students graduated entirely in Marathi and secured 100% placement, proving that learning in regional languages ensures employability. He urged stakeholders to embrace mother tongue instruction in fields like engineering and medicine to ensure inclusivity for those less proficient in English. Sitharam also spoke on AICTE's efforts to enrich education with Indian ethos and ethics. He said universal Human Values (UHV), offered as a minor course with 12-18 credits, has gained widespread acceptance among students and faculty alike, with lakhs of teachers trained to conduct these courses. While acknowledging the closure of some institutions, he clarified that this is due to the removal of intake caps, leading to increased capacity in quality institutions. "Across India, including Kerala, engineering seats have gone up by 15% over the last two years," he said. He also noted a significant development in international education, stating that 11 foreign universities are set to begin operations in India, with approvals already in place for campuses in Delhi, Mumbai, and Gujarat. He also said India's higher education enrolment is currently at 4.3 crore and is projected to touch 9 crore by 2035, he added. Former Union minister of education Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, who presided over the closing day of the ceremony, said that since ancient times India has been a destination for knowledge seekers and philosophical teachers from around the world. "Universities like Takshashila and Nalanda attracted numerous students to India. Indian education focuses on three main aspects - culture, language, and knowledge. The Indian tradition of knowledge is enriched by many scholars such as Patanjali, Sushruta, Bhaskaracharya, and Chanakya," he said. He said the new National Education Policy (NEP) aims to realise dreams like Swachh Bharat, Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat and Atmanirbhar Bharat, transforming India into a global leader.
