Reed College Settles Antisemitism Complaints, Updates Discrimination Policies
The agreement requires antisemitism training, policy changes and third-party monitoring after two 2024 complaints accused the college of failing to protect Jewish students.
- On Wednesday, Reed College settled two federal Title VI discrimination complaints filed by the Brandeis Center and the Anti-Defamation League , committing to institutional reforms addressing antisemitism allegations.
- Incidents during spring 2024 included dorm-room mezuzah vandalism and a student struck by rocks thrown through her window; she later left the school out of safety concerns.
- Under the settlement, the Portland, Oregon, school will adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Association's definition of antisemitism and hire a third-party consultant to monitor compliance.
- ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and Brandeis Center officials praised the reforms as a potential national model for campus antisemitism protections. Greater Portland Hillel executive director Lisa Hendricks said it ensures Jewish and Israeli students receive equal civil rights protections.
- The resolution arrives as universities nationwide face threats of losing federal funding under the Trump administration, driving willingness to negotiate new protections. Reed agreed to implement antisemitism training and ban faculty from canceling classes for protests.
