US Justice Department Sues UCLA Over Alleged Antisemitism on Campus
The US Justice Department has filed a federal lawsuit against UCLA, alleging the university failed to protect Jewish students from antisemitic harassment during pro-Palestinian protests following the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. The complaint cites violations of federal civil rights law and accuses UCLA of deliberate indifference. UCLA denies passivity, highlighting steps taken to combat antisemitism, including policy reforms and suspensions of student groups linked to protests. The case seeks to withhold federal funding pending court approval.
