At least a dozen colleges and universities are currently under investigation by the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights for potential Title VI violations related to anti-Semitic discrimination on American campuses following the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists.
The latest of these investigations was exclusively reported Tuesday by Campus Reform. The investigation into anti-Semitism at Brown University is the result of a complaint filed by Campus Reform Editor-in-Chief Dr. Zachary Marschall.
A similar investigation into the University of North Carolina was announced the same day.
The initial batch of investigations was announced in November, with the department naming six colleges and one school district, billing the probe as a review of both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. While the department has not always been clear about which investigations fall into which category of discrimination, reports indicate that five of the initial seven institutions are under investigation for anti-Semitism, and two for Islamophobia. The original list included Lafayette College, Cornell University, Columbia University, Wellesley College, University of Pennsylvania, The Cooper Union, and Kansas’ Maize Unified School District.
