US Justice Department: GWU Violated Civil Rights Law
George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C. showed "deliberate indifference" to reports of anti-Semitic discrimination, misconduct, and harm to Jewish and Israeli students and faculty, violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said this week.
In a letter to GWU President Ellen Granberg, the DOJ warned the school would face federal enforcement measures if it did not enter a voluntary resolution agreement in the immediate future.
