The Trump administration, through its Justice Department, is preparing to file lawsuits against the University of California and other colleges for alleged antisemitism. Leo Terrell, leading a task force on this issue, indicated that significant legal actions, including hate crime charges and Title VII lawsuits, are forthcoming. The task force has identified numerous universities for investigation but has faced resistance from these institutions, hampering its efforts to collect evidence and address complaints effectively. The university maintains its commitment to combating antisemitism in all forms.
A UC spokesperson said the university 'abhors antisemitism and is diligently working to address, counter and eradicate it in all its forms across the system.'
Leo Terrell stated, 'Expect hate crime charges filed by the federal government. Expect Title VII lawsuits,' referring to U.S. civil rights law.
Terrell noted the task force has not made intended visits to campuses due to 'resistance', highlighting challenges in addressing antisemitism.
The administration plans 'massive lawsuits against [the] UC system' and other colleges over alleged antisemitism, signaling a broader initiative.
