Justice Department Sues UCLA Over Alleged Antisemitic Harassment of Employees

The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the University of California, Los Angeles, alleging the university failed to protect Jewish and Israeli employees from antisemitic harassment during pro-Palestinian protests in 2023 and 2024. The suit claims UCLA tolerated a protest encampment with antisemitic signs and chants, failed to discipline involved individuals, and violated its own policies. This follows a previous $6 million settlement with Jewish students and a professor. The lawsuit seeks enforcement of anti-discrimination policies and damages for affected employees.
