Federal Investigations Prompt Reforms at Michigan, CUNY Over Antisemitism

Two universities agree to new measures following findings of discrimination against Jewish students post-Hamas attack.

The U.S. Department of Education concluded that both universities failed to protect Jewish students from harassment.
University of Michigan and CUNY will implement improved training and reevaluate past antisemitism allegations.
CUNY's settlement covers nine schools, with a focus on incidents since October 7, 2023.
Michigan faced criticism for inadequate responses to both antisemitic and anti-Palestinian incidents.
Federal oversight and third-party reviews are part of the new measures to ensure compliance and safety.
