The Department of Education announced that Johns Hopkins University is facing a federal antisemitism inquiry after a complaint claimed that Jewish students were being made to feel \u201cunwelcome and unsafe\u201d on campus.<\/p>\n
The complaint, filed by Campus Reform Editor-in-Chief Dr. Zachary Marschall, claims that the university has failed to respond adequately to antisemitism on campus.<\/p>\n
Marschall\u2019s complaint against Johns Hopkins says that the school has not done enough to respond to harassment incidents of Jewish students, violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.<\/p>\n
He reportedly\u00a0noted 24 faculty members who called for a ceasefire in the war and were praised by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe call for stopping the routing of workers\u2019 exploited labor and money into funding the U.S. military, which directly supports and contributes to the genocide of Palestinians,\u201d the Teachers and Researchers United group said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe decry Johns Hopkins\u2019 inadequate response along with the silence of the academic community and Western institutions at large in the face of the occupation and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. This silence is fueling the continued violent oppression of the Palestinian people. It is imperative we act now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Education Department also opened an investigation into Northwestern University last month in response to one of Marschall\u2019s complaints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
