Investigation Launched into 60 Colleges Over Antisemitism Allegations

The US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has initiated investigations into 60 colleges and universities regarding allegations of antisemitic harassment and discrimination. In letters sent on Monday, the department highlighted concerns that these institutions may be violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs receiving federal assistance.

The letters serve as a formal warning, indicating that these colleges and universities must take immediate action to ensure the safety and protection of Jewish students on their campuses. The investigations come in response to a growing number of reports and complaints regarding antisemitic incidents in educational environments, prompting the department to emphasize the importance of maintaining an inclusive and respectful atmosphere for all students.

Failure to address these issues adequately could result in serious consequences for the institutions involved, including potential loss of federal funding. The Department of Education's actions reflect a commitment to combating discrimination and fostering a safe learning environment for every student.
