US EditionDOJ finds GW University ‘deliberately indifferent’ to antisemitism
The Department of Justice says GWU ignored at least eight antisemitic complaints during pro-Palestinian protests, creating a hostile environment that violated federal civil rights law.
- The DOJ's Civil Rights Division found on Tuesday that George Washington University violated federal civil rights law and seeks immediate remediation by August 22.
- During spring 2024, GWU students staged an encampment in University Yard amid pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and the DOJ found the university took no meaningful action on antisemitic harassment complaints.
- The DOJ found the environment was `objectively offensive, severe, and pervasive` and cited incidents where Jewish students were threatened with slurs like `Zionist go die` and calls for `Intifada revolution`.
- Issuing legal warnings, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said, `Every student has the right to equal educational opportunities without fear of harassment or abuse,' and Shannon McClendon emphasized GW's condemnation of antisemitism.
- Drawing on precedent, the Trump administration withdrew $500 million in federal funding from UCLA after antisemitism findings, and dozens of universities may face investigations over protests.
