Like many other Ivy League schools, Brown University has been a hotbed of anti-Israel activity since October 7th. In December alone, an anti-Israel student mob shouted down the university president Christina Paxson and more than 40 students were arrested when they refused to leave a campus building.
It’s not much of a stretch to believe that Jewish students at the school are facing discrimination on campus.
FOX News reports:
Brown University under investigation by Dept of Education over alleged discrimination against Jewish studentsThe Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is opening an investigation into Brown University over alleged discrimination against Jewish students.Conservative-leaning Campus Reform Editor-in-Chief Dr. Zachary Marschall recently filed a complaint with the government agency. The filing claimed that “pro-Israel students are targeted and threatened” on the Ivy League campus.The Department of Education Office for Civil Rights responded to Marschall and notified him it would open an investigation into complaints filed against the school.A Brown University spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights informed the University on Jan. 9 that it is investigating a complaint alleging discrimination on the basis of national origin in regard to “incidents of harassment” in Fall 2023.”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. 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,’” the spokesperson said.
Harvard is facing a similar investigation from Congress.
The Brown students who were arrested in December just had their court dates pushed back to February.

It’s amazing how quickly some of our top schools tarnished their reputations over this issue.
