The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Tuesday that George Washington University is in violation of federal civil rights law and described it as \u201cdeliberately indifferent\u201d to antisemitism on campus. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The university took \u201cno meaningful action\u201d to combat antisemitism that led to harm to Jewish students and faculty, the department alleges. <\/p>\n

In a letter to the university<\/a>, the DOJ said Jewish students were intimidated and fearful during the pro-Palestinian encampment on campus last spring and that multiple Jewish students reported harassment or assault from protesters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The DOJ will be seeking \u201cimmediate remediation\u201d with the university, with fears likely to mount that could lead to pulled federal funding. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery student has the right to equal educational opportunities without fear of harassment or abuse,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division. \u201cNo one is above the law, and universities that promulgate antisemitic discrimination will face legal consequences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Hill has reached out to George Washington University for comment. \u00a0<\/p>\n

After finding the University of California, Los Angeles broke federal civil rights law due to antisemitism on campus, the Trump administration pulled $500 million in federal funding. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Trump administration is now looking for UCLA to pay a $1 billion fine<\/a>, along with other concessions, in order for federal funding to be restored. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
