UC Davis and Sacramento State face federal investigations

The U.S. Department of Education is investigating 60 universities, including UC Davis and Sacramento State, for potential Title VI violations related to antisemitic harassment. This follows pro-Palestinian protests at these campuses last year. The department's actions come after it canceled $400 million in federal funding to Columbia University for failing to protect Jewish students. Both UC Davis and Sacramento State experienced student encampments that raised concerns about harassment. While the Department of Education did not directly link the protests to the investigations, Secretary Linda McMahon noted that antisemitic incidents have made Jewish students feel unsafe.
