Overview

• The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights has dropped an investigation into antisemitism allegations at the University of Pennsylvania due to a similar lawsuit filed in federal court.
• Temple University is now under federal investigation for its handling of antisemitism complaints, joining a list of nearly 100 open investigations into colleges and K-12 schools for alleged discrimination involving shared ancestry.
• The University of Minnesota is also under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education following a complaint raising concerns about antisemitism at the Twin Cities campus.
• Former Penn president Liz Magill resigned last month following criticism over her handling of antisemitism on campus.
• Schools that do not address the findings of these investigations could potentially lose their federal funding.
