GMU condemned ‘Islamophobia’—but not anti-Semitism, faculty sayProfessors at George Mason University (GMU) have criticized the school’s president for denouncing anti-Muslim discrimination but not strongly condemning anti-Semitism.In November 2023, GMU President Gregory Washington published a statement entitled “Denouncing Islamophobia” after Palestinian students were shot.However, a GMU professor identified the next month that Washington never published a similar statement condemning Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks against Israel, during which more than a thousand Israelis were killed.“I do not recall reading a single email you have sent to the GMU community of professors, staff, and students since Oct. 7, 2023, in which you solely denounced antisemitism, in which you identified the harassment, assaults, vandalism, and other criminal acts as motivated by antisemitism,” the professor wrote to Washington at the time.Following Oct. 7, a group of law professors reportedly requested that Washington issue a statement condemning anti-Semitism, but Washington declined their request, according to The Washington Free Beacon.On July 1, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced it had opened a Title VI investigation into George Mason University over allegations that it failed to address a hostile environment for Jewish students and faculty during 2023–2025.In a letter to the GMU administration, the department explained that it opened the investigation after receiving a complaint “that the University discriminated on the basis of national origin (shared Jewish ancestry) by failing to respond effectively to a pervasive hostile environment for Jewish students and faculty.”
