Justice Department Faults GWU on Antisemitic Response
The Justice Department found George Washington University ignored antisemitic discrimination, violating federal civil rights law.
The Department of Justice determined George Washington University (GWU) was indifferent to antisemitic discrimination. This violates federal civil rights laws.
The Civil Rights Division's investigation, under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, found GWU failed to address complaints from Jewish and Israeli students and faculty.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon stated, "Every student has the right to equal educational opportunities without fear of harassment or abuse." Legal consequences will follow for institutions ignoring such issues.
The Justice Department demands immediate remediation from GWU.
