The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a civil rights investigation into the University of California amid rising concerns over antisemitic discrimination against Jewish employees. This inquiry follows reports of an increased hostile environment post the recent Hamas attack on Israel. The DOJ aims to uncover if UC engaged in a pattern of discrimination based on race, religion, and national origin. The investigation, which will also involve partnerships with the Employment Opportunity Commission and a multi-agency task force, reflects growing national concerns about antisemitism in educational institutions.
The investigation by the DOJ aims to uncover whether UC allowed discrimination against Jewish employees, following alarming reports of antisemitism since the October Hamas attacks.
