The Education Department found the University of Michigan and the City University of New York didn't adequately investigate campus incidents in response to the Israel-Hamas war.
The University of Michigan and the City University of New York did not adequately investigate if campus protests and other incidents in response to the Israel-Hamas war created a hostile environment for students, faculty and staff, according to the results of investigations by the U.S. Education Department announced Monday. The agreements are the first investigations to reach a conclusion among dozens launched by the Education Department since Oct.
In one instance, when a Jewish student reported being called out for viewing a graduate student instructor’s social media post about pro-Palestinian topics, the university told the student that 'formal conflict resolution is not a path forward at this time,' because the incident occurred on social media.
On average, cases take about six to eight months to resolve. The vast majority of the agency’s civil rights investigations end with voluntary resolutions. Schools usually promise to resolve any lingering problems and take steps to protect students in the future. While the Education Department investigates, several colleges and school districts have separately been called before Congress to answer allegations of antisemitism.
