Brown University Agrees to Change Discrimination Policies After Federal Investigation Finds Serious Defects in Antisemitism Response

Jul 9, 2024, 01:11 AM

The Department of Education and Brown University have reached an agreement on antidiscrimination efforts following a federal civil rights investigation. The investigation, which began on October 7, scrutinized reports of antisemitism at Brown University and concluded with criticism of the university's inadequate response to complaints from Jewish students. The federal probe highlighted that Brown took 'no or little action' on these complaints. The Department of Education found serious defects in Brown's responses to bigotry on campus. As a result, Brown University has agreed to change its discrimination policies to better address such issues in the future.
