Federal Investigations into Antisemitism at U.S. Universities Continue

The Department of Education probes allegations at Temple University and the University of Minnesota, while dropping a similar case at the University of Pennsylvania due to a concurrent lawsuit.

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.
