US files lawsuit against UCLA over antisemitism
The US Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), accusing it of antisemitism. This lawsuit represents the latest move in the Trump administration's campaign to hold leading universities accountable for what it perceives as a lenient approach towards antisemitism.
The lawsuit also accuses UCLA of failing to hold protesters accountable, including ten individuals arrested in 2024 for refusing to vacate a camp on campus grounds. This action highlights the government's increased focus on combating antisemitism in academic institutions.
The case may set a legal precedent for how American universities address responsibility for antisemitic incidents moving forward.
