WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Justice said on Monday it launched a probe reviewing whether some Harvard University’s financial aid programs were discriminatory, marking the latest fight against the university by President Donald Trump’s administration.

“The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced today it is opening a compliance review into Harvard University to determine whether its China-based financial aid programs and practices exclude American-citizen students,” the department said in a statement.
