The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is investigating Brown University over alleged discrimination against Jewish students, following a complaint filed by a conservative-leaning editor.
The university has been informed about the investigation, which focuses on incidents of harassment in Fall 2023.
This comes after various events at Brown, including statements from the Students for Justice in Palestine, arrests related to divestment protests, and a shooting incident involving college students of Palestinian descent. (Trending: Fauci’s COVID Missteps Are Coming Back To Haunt Him)
The university has emphasized its commitment to supporting the safety and needs of all affected individuals, and the investigation is ongoing.
“Our understanding from media reports is that the complaint originates from beyond Brown’s campus and specifically from an editor of the online publication Campus Reform,” a University spokesperson said.
“The letter characterizes the investigation as fact-finding, requests information from Brown and states clearly that ‘opening the complaint for investigation in no way implies that OCR has made a determination on the merits of the complaint.’”
“Amid the anxiety, tension, debate and fear prompted by the devastating events in the Middle East, Brown’s primary focus has been, and will continue to be, on supporting the needs and safety of our students, faculty and staff who are Jewish, Muslim, Israeli, Palestinian, have ties to the region, and are feeling impacted by current events,” the spokesperson added.
“We remain resolved in our cross-campus efforts to ensure a community where all individuals feel safe and valued and where no instance of antisemitism, Islamophobia or bias based on religious, cultural or ethnic differences is tolerated.”
“We will provide additional details directly in our response to OCR.”
