Trump Administration Investigating Cal State Universities for Antisemitism

It’s important to remember that schools which allow this are guilty of basic civil rights violations.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Cal State universities now target of antisemitism probe by Trump administrationThe Trump administration has launched an investigation into allegations of antisemitism across all 22 campuses of the California State University system, prompting concerns about the chilling of free speech on campus and the violation of staff members’ privacy.In an email to the CSU community Friday afternoon, Chancellor Mildred Garcia wrote that the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission had initiated a systemwide antisemitism complaint and was reaching out to faculty and staff directly to discuss their experiences on campus.The administration at Cal State L.A. said Friday that the EEOC has subpoenaed the university to turn over the personal phone numbers and email addresses of all employees. Demonstrators had erected a pro-Palestinian encampment at the university in spring 2024, during a wave of campus protests against Israel’s war in Gaza after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.The new CSU probes leave no public university in California untouched by antisemitism investigations under the Trump administration. The EEOC is also working with the Department of Justice to investigate allegations of antisemitism on all 10 University of California campuses, where officials have complied with federal orders to turn over hundreds of employees’ contact information to the government.In addition, federal departments and agencies have previously announced similar investigations into private universities, including Stanford and USC.“I know this news may be unsettling — and that is understandable,” Garcia wrote in an email about the investigation. “Please be assured that we are responding appropriately. And — perhaps most importantly — please know with absolute certainty that we will continue to advance the CSU’s mission through these and any challenges we face.”The EEOC did not respond to a request asking about alleged incidents of antisemitism at CSU that prompted the investigation.
