Palestine Legal announced Thursday that the U.S. Department of Education has launched a federal investigation into 'extreme anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and Islamophobic harassment' at Columbia University a week after the advocacy group filed a complaint on behalf of four students and a campus organization.
Columbia is one of many American campuses where administrators have called the police, who have behaved aggressively toward students and faculty nonviolently demonstrating to demand that their schools and the U.S. government stop supporting the Israeli assault of Gaza, which has killed at least 34,596 Palestinians in under seven months.
