Harvard reportedly investigating Republican Club over social media post about Muslim group's campus event

Harvard University is investigating the Harvard Republican Club (HRC) after the student group's social media post targeting a Muslim campus event triggered backlash and accusations of harassment.

"Today, students were interrupted from their midterm studies for several hours by loud music and prayers outside their windows," it reads. "Harvard's historic Quincy Courtyard had been turned into a bazaar selling Hijabs, Burqas and Qurans for an Eid Mubarak celebration hosted by Harvard's Islamic Society."

The club also claimed "prayer mats" covered the grass, speakers "blasted Islamic music" and the event "attracted dozens of unvetted strangers who roamed outside student dorms."

The post further alleged that Harvard campus security told one of its members he was not allowed to take pictures of the event.

"Harvard has been captured," the post said.

Moeen M. Razzaque, co-president of the Harvard Islamic Society, pushed back on the claims in an op-ed for the Crimson, calling the post "blatant lies" and "bigotry."

He defended the event as a "typical gathering of University affiliates and guests" that was planned months in advance with administrative approval, and he called on Harvard to take disciplinary action against the Republican group.

Muslim civil rights group The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) also urged Harvard to act.

Harvard University and the Harvard Republican Club did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Last week, the Trump administration slashed more than $2 billion in multi-year grants and contracts to Harvard after President Garber said the school would not comply with the administration's demands related to antisemitism.
