This is true for many American schools now. It’s a total disgrace.

US federal probe finds Drexel University has become a hostile environment for JewsDrexel University will review the antisemitism discrimination complaints it has fielded in recent years and work to improve how it handles them under an agreement with the US Department of Education announced Friday.The federal investigation began with a complaint about an October dormitory fire on the door of a suite where a Jewish student lived, but no sufficient evidence has surfaced indicating it was motivated by antisemitism or a hate crime, officials said.The probe did turn up what the agency considered shortcomings in how Drexel has responded to a string of 35 other allegations of harassment of Jewish that were reported to the school over a 16-month period ending in January. Federal officials concluded a hostile environment has been in place at Drexel for about a year and a half, including anti-Jewish graffiti, social media threats and the vandalism of Drexel’s Center for Jewish Life in April.The investigation is among more than 150 similar probes launched by the US Department of Education regarding campus and K-12 incidents in the wake of the October 7 attack on Israel that began the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.“The university’s actions were limited to addressing each incident on an individual basis, including offering supportive resources to students, but did not consider whether broader and more responsive action was needed,” according to a news release issued by the Education Department on Friday.In response, the school has agreed to review complaints and reports of such incidents during the past two academic years, share the information with the federal agency and take action if needed. It also will conduct training and revise policies that guide how incidents of reported discrimination are investigated and addressed.
