"The University of California (UC), Berkeley in the United States has provided information on more than 150 faculty members and students to President Donald Trump's administration, as part of a federal investigation into alleged incidents of anti-Semitism on college campuses nationwide. UC Berkeley said on Friday the names of the 160 students, faculty and staff were sent to the US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, and affected members of the campus were notified by the institution last week."
"It added the Education Department launched an investigation several months ago into its handling of complaints related to alleged incidents of anti-Semitism and demanded documentation. The office of the president of the University of California said the institution is subject to oversight by federal and state agencies and that its campuses, like UC Berkeley, routinely receive document requests in connection with government audits, compliance reviews, or investigations."
