(Daily Caller) Three civil rights offices in the Trump administration are investigating college campuses across the U.S. over their handling of anti-Israel protests and alleged antisemitism.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) first announced the effort Monday as part of a new “Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism” that will “root out anti-Semitic harassment in schools and on college campuses,” a press release says. The Department of Education (DOE) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) then announced it would probe five universities and four unnamed medical schools on behalf of the task force.
“Too many universities have tolerated widespread antisemitic harassment and the illegal encampments that paralyzed campus life last year, driving Jewish life and religious expression underground,” DOE Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor said in a press release. “The Biden Administration’s toothless resolution agreements did shamefully little to hold those institutions accountable.”
