The Department of Justice has concluded its investigation into antisemitic discrimination at George Washington University, finding the institution 'deliberately indifferent' to a hostile environment faced by Jewish, American-Israeli, and Israeli students and faculty. The investigation revealed that the university failed to address multiple complaints of harassment, intimidation, and abuse during recent campus protests, particularly during final exams and graduation ceremonies. The Justice Department is now seeking immediate remediation and reforms through a voluntary resolution agreement, warning that universities allowing such discrimination will face legal consequences.

Reports detailed numerous incidents where Jewish students were harassed, threatened, and even told to leave campus areas for their own safety, while university officials and police allegedly failed to intervene. The findings highlight a pervasive atmosphere of fear and hostility, with students subjected to offensive and illegal behavior during anti-Israel demonstrations. The Department of Justice emphasized the need for equal educational opportunities and signaled increased federal oversight due to the university's location in the nation's capital.
