U.S. Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights Sends Letters to 60 Universities Under Investigation for Antisemitic Discrimination and Harassment
Letters warn of potential enforcement actions if institutions do not fulfill their obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect Jewish students on campus.
Columbia University: Agreed to a multi-agency settlement with the U.S. government, including a $200 million payment (classified as a fine) to the U.S. Treasury, to resolve investigations into alleged violations of anti-discrimination laws. Columbia also established a separate $21 million fund to compensate current and former employees who experienced antisemitic harassment.
Northwestern University: Agreed to pay $75 million to the United States as part of a deal to resolve all pending investigations and restore frozen federal funding.
Cornell University: Agreed to pay $30 million to the federal government and invest an additional $30 million in U.S. agriculture research to settle claims of antisemitic harassment and discrimination.
Brown University: Agreed to a deal that included a commitment of $50 million towards state workforce development programs as part of its settlement to restore federal grant funding.
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA): Agreed to a $6.45 million settlement in a private lawsuit brought by Jewish students and a professor over the university's handling of pro-Palestinian protests. The university also faced separate action from the U.S. Department of Justice, which found it liable for civil rights violations.
University of California, Berkeley: Paid $1 million in legal fees to settle a lawsuit brought by two Jewish groups, agreeing to revise campus nondiscrimination policies and prohibit student group bylaws that effectively ban Zionist speakers.

Where were those protesters for the last decade when Palestine was kept in squalor?
How will Putin's birthday, October 7, be celebrated this year?

(9,972 posts)Since they are college students they would have been like 8-12 years old. I mean kids grow up fast but maybe you are expecting a bit much from them.

(5,497 posts)I mean, regardless of who the individuals were, there were no mass protests over Gaza or Yemen, or for that matter East Timor, Sudan, or Somalia.

(26,893 posts)And if its because theyre not pushing as hard as they did on Gaza, maybe its because they saw their classmates beaten, suspended, imprisoned, expelled, threatened with deportation? Just a thought.

(3,681 posts)Also, Iran and Gaza are not the same in terms of people's intrinsic level of sympathy? Nearly everyone hates Iran as a state.
Also, one was an apartheid zone within another country, and this a country itself?
Those are my first answers before I get into the fact that, yes, that media isn't going to cover what protests there ARE under Trump like they would under a Democrat, which is also true

(35,062 posts)It REALLY sucks to have tRump as president and to know that part of the reason was due to division on our own side.
Obviously, the anger directed at Joe Biden back in 2023 and 2024 was counterproductive, but many of the students were low information and/or new to politics. I don't blame them. I blame the adults.
I held my tongue back then, but looking back, President Biden could have done a much better job explaining why the US was supporting Israel in killing thousands of women and children and destroying 60% of Gaza. We have criminal organizations right here in our country but we don't destroy entire towns filled with innocent people trying to get a handful of thugs. That's absolutely disgusting and inhumane.
When I look at the before and after videos of Gaza, I'm ashamed that I wasn't out there protesting with those students. We all should have protested. What happened then and what's happening now all over the Middle East is completely unacceptable.
