Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said Wednesday that he is “really glad” the Trump administration has turned up the heat on Harvard University and other schools, but urged the White House to be “strategic” in its pursuit to combat antisemitism.

The Trump administration’s feud with Harvard has grown over the weeks, with the school suing the administration after it pulled $2.2 billion in multiyear grants. Greenblatt said there are “rampant” problems with antisemitism at universities such as Harvard, prompting questions of whether he supports the recent actions taken by the Trump administration to combat these problems.
