Trump administration accuses university of creating a hostile atmosphere for Jewish, American Israelis, and Israeli students.
The United States Department of Justice has accused George Washington University of deliberate indifference to anti-Semitism, making the Washington, DC-based institution the latest to find itself in the crosshairs of the administration of President Donald Trump.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the Justice Department said the school violated federal civil rights by creating a “hostile educational environment” for Jewish, American-Israeli, and Israeli students and faculty.
“The Division finds that GWU took no meaningful action and was instead deliberately indifferent to the complaints it received, the misconduct that occurred, and the harms that were suffered by its Jewish and Israeli students and faculty,” the statement says.
It added that the department will seek “immediate remediation”, though no further details are given.
