The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has concluded that George Washington University (GWU) violated federal civil rights laws by demonstrating "deliberate indifference" to antisemitic harassment and discrimination against Jewish, American Israeli, and Israeli students and faculty. This determination follows an investigation into pro-Palestinian protests on campus last year, during which multiple complaints of harassment, abuse, intimidation, and assault targeting Jewish students were reportedly ignored. The DOJ criticized GWU officials and campus police for failing to intervene or protect Jewish students, with some reports indicating the university even blamed Jewish students for the harassment they faced. The Trump administration, which conducted the investigation, intends to seek immediate remediation from the university. This action is part of a broader effort by the administration to address antisemitism on U.S. college campuses, with other institutions such as Harvard and Columbia also reportedly under scrutiny for similar issues. The findings highlight ongoing tensions on campuses following protests related to Israel’s response to the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack in Gaza.
