DOJ: George Washington University violates civil rights law over antisemitism

The Trump administration on Tuesday cut the University of George Washington as “deliberately indifferent”, which the Department of Justice considers “Jewish, American-Israel and Israeli students and an hostile educational environment for the students and faculty”.

The DOJ announced that its Civil Rights Division has “investigated the incidents of antisementary discrimination and harassment of Jews and Israeli students” and Washington, DC-based university violated the Federal Civil Rights Act.

“Every student has the right to equal educational opportunities without fear of harassment or misbehavior,” said in a statement, Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice Department. “No one is above the law, and universities that promote antisementic discrimination will face legal consequences.”

In a letter to George Washington University President Ellen Granberg, Dhillon said that DOJ found that “despite the real information of the abuses in his premises, the GWU was indifferent to the complaints received deliberately, which was misconduct, and the losses suffering from the students and faculty were in violation of the 1964 VI.” DOJ is moving for enforcement and asking for “immediate therapeutic”.

The Department of Justice, which provides direct federal financial assistance to GWU, stated that it was providing an opportunity to the university to resolve the case through “Voluntary Resolution Agreement”. The state aims to “ensure immediate treatment of these issues and related reforms to prevent repetition of discrimination, oppression and misuse.”

Unlike Harvard and Columbia-both have collided with the Trump administration on anti-Israeli demonstrations in view of October 7, 2023, Hamas’s attacks-Jorge Washington University is a private institution. However, due to its location in the nation’s capital, federal agencies and global embassies, George Washington University is more exposed to federal monitoring and political influence.

President Donald Trump announced the federal acquisition of the DC Police Department, the DOJ was announced a day later, which cited a large -scale violent crime in the country’s capital.

Investigation of federal civilian rights found that GWU students and faculties were “subjected to a hostile educational environment that was impartially aggressive, serious and broad,” Dhillon wrote. “Antesymetic, hate-based misconduct directed by GWU students directed by GWU students, in a word, in a word, was stunning. The behavior was performed.

During the final examination and graduation ceremony in April and May 2024, Dhillon said, “Antisemitic, disruptive protests were engaged in the university community, including the establishment of a ‘encroachment’ in the university yard of GWU.”

The DOJ said that the university received “no less than eight complaints” during the time limit, alleging that the protesters were discriminating against Jews and Israel students. Jewish students, parents and alumni also approached the university leadership for “proper fear for their safety” because the protesters continued their anti-Israeli campus. The DOJ also received reports of antisemitic discrimination in the campus of George Washington University.

Trump ramps the heat on Harvard: There are 5 reasons from the university’s own investigation here.

“The purpose of the efforts of the agitators was to intimidate, intimidate and reject independent and unfit access to Jewish, Israeli and American-Israel students,” Dhillon wrote. “This is the definition of enmity and an ‘hostile environment’.”

The investigation also found “many incidents” of Jewish students, who were harassed, misbehaved, frightened and attacked by the protesters, “written by Dhillon.” To be clear, the Jewish students were afraid to participate in the classroom, to see, or worse, ‘caught’ and perhaps to beat them physically in the GWU camp. ,

Dhillon cited a Jewish student, who “surrounded, disturbed, threatened, and then ordered the region to leave the area immediately after antisementary protesters, adjacent to the university yard.” His letter stated that the GWU students assistant Dean directed to leave the Jewish student as his presence was “protesting against provoking and provoking the crowd.”

Assistant Attorney General said other Jewish students provided accounts similar to harassment and threats by protesters when they tried to cross the campus through the university yard.

“The protesters surrounded them, shouted antisemitic slurs on his face, and forced him to run away,” Dhillon wrote. “A Jewish student who quietly laid an Israeli flag on the university’s yard and was surrounded by protesters surrounded by protesters associated with the purpose of restricting the movements of the Jewish student.”

During the encounter, Dhillon said, the protesters shouted to the slars and a university police officer standing nearby “did nothing to stop or intervene in the incident and instead asked the student to leave the university yard for his safety.”

Dhillon said that another Jewish student who was holding an Israeli flag across the road from infiltration was harassed by the protesters, who shouted, “F-you, you, Zeoniists go die,” “is the only solution,” is the only solution, Inetifada revolution, “” Hamas Freedom Fighters, “and” Humas Freedom Fiters “. He said that a police officer of the university also told that the student to leave the area.
