The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights reportedly has opened an investigation into Northwestern University after a complaint was filed by Campus Reform editor-in-chief Dr. Zachary Marschall over the university’s handling of antisemitic incidents.
The complaint, filed January 10, claims that Northwestern University has failed to appropriately respond to incidents of harassment of Jewish students following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack.
The filing also cites a vigil hosted on October 12 by Students for Justice in Palestine near the school’s Deering Library, where colors from the Palestinian flag were displayed onto the building.
More than 150 students also reportedly staged a walkout on October 25, demanding that the school move away from organizations supporting Israel, claiming that the country is engaging in “genocide.”
