60 universities warned over antisemitic discrimination investigations
ed.gov —
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has sent letters to 60 universities, warning them of possible enforcement actions for failing to protect Jewish students from antisemitic discrimination and harassment. These institutions are currently under investigation for violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The letters emphasize the need for universities to ensure safe access to campus facilities and educational opportunities for Jewish students. This action follows a recent cancellation of $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University for not addressing antisemitic issues. The Department is prioritizing the resolution of complaints related to antisemitic violence and harassment.
