Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law founder Kenneth Marcus, who served in the Trump administration, spoke out to 'Life, Liberty & Levin' on FOX News.
A top former Trump administration official told FOX News on Saturday that the Department of Education has the power to investigate the conduct of colleges where antisemitic and/or pro-Hamas protests are occurring, and where Jewish students have felt threatened.
That is the whole purpose for why we have an agency called OCR . That's the agency that I formerly ran. And its sole obligation is to make sure that federal funds are not used to support discriminatory behavior,' he said. 'It does this on a whole host of other issues. It needs to do it with antisemitism.' Marcus said the Biden administration has signaled it is welcoming but waiting for complaints to be filed in that respect.
Marcus called the angry protests and pro-Palestinian demonstrations that have happened at places like Columbia University and MIT 'unlike anything that we have seen in the United States.' Some officials at the state level like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis have taken action against such groups that hold the protests. In his case, the governor 'deactivated' state chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine.
