University of Cincinnati investigated for mishandling antisemitism complaints

The University of Cincinnati is under investigation by the Department of Education for allegedly mishandling complaints of antisemitism. This follows a warning from the DOE regarding the university's legal obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The investigation stems from complaints about harassment of Jewish students, including incidents of verbal abuse and vandalism. The DOE's letter highlights a lack of adequate response from the university to these incidents over the past two years. Previously, the university signed a resolution agreement under the Biden Administration to address these issues. However, the current investigation could lead to federal funding cuts from the Trump Administration if the university does not comply with Title VI requirements.
