Haverford professor charged over alleged ‘heinous’ antisemitic online attacks, barred from campus

A Haverford College professor was arrested Tuesday and charged with federal cyberstalking after allegedly sending dozens of antisemitic threats to a colleague in Pennsylvania.

It prompted the college to bar him from campus, more than two years after Jewish students accused the same professor of making threatening statements about supporters of Israel in a separate lawsuit against the school.

Haverford College President Wendy Raymond addressed the arrest of religion professor Guangtian Ha in a statement provided to Fox News Digital by a college spokesperson.

"I am heartbroken and furious at the possibility that an individual within our community would seek to inflict such pain on another," Raymond said.

Prosecutors alleged that Ha posted the colleague's home address, referenced the colleague's children and made statements invoking the Holocaust.

The colleague's spouse and three children temporarily left their home twice because of the threats, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The arrest follows earlier allegations against Ha that were included in a 2024 antisemitism lawsuit against Haverford College.

In a January 2025 amended complaint, Jewish students accused Ha of publishing hostile social media posts about supporters of Israel, including one in which he allegedly said he knew their identities.

The complaint reproduced a statement attributed to Ha targeting people within his Haverford community who remained silent about, or supported, what he characterized as genocide.

"I will never forgive them," Ha said, according to the complaint.

"I know their names and I know their faces.

Never forgive.
