The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has determined that George Washington University (GWU) violated federal civil rights law by exhibiting "deliberate indifference" to antisemitic harassment and discrimination against Jewish, American Israeli, and Israeli students and faculty. This finding follows an investigation into incidents during pro-Palestinian student protests on campus last year, which included harassment, abuse, intimidation, and assault of Jewish students. The DOJ criticized GWU for failing to adequately address these hostile educational conditions despite receiving multiple complaints. The Trump administration announced it will seek immediate remediation from the university to enforce federal civil rights protections. This action is part of a broader campaign by the administration targeting U.S. colleges over their handling of antisemitism, with other institutions such as Harvard and Columbia also reportedly involved in similar disputes. The DOJ's findings highlight concerns about campus responses to antisemitic behavior amid politically charged protests related to Israel and Gaza.
