The Department of Justice said Tuesday that UCLA violated the civil rights of Jewish and Israeli students who reported harassment and intimidation during a spring 2024 pro-Palestinian campus encampment...
In a letter addressed to UC President Michael V. Drake, DOJ officials said “Jewish and Israeli students at UCLA were subjected to severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive harassment that created a hostile environment by members of the encampment.”
The letter faulted UCLA for not taking down the encampment until after it was attacked by pro-Israel group. In addition, the department found UCLA was “inadequate” in its response to complaints from Jewish and Israeli students last spring, violating the Equal Protection Clause and Title VI.
In a statement, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Trump administration will make UCLA pay a “heavy price.”
“This disgusting breach of civil rights against students will not stand: DOJ will force UCLA to pay a heavy price for putting Jewish Americans at risk and continue our ongoing investigations into other campuses in the UC system,” Bondi said.
*** The DOJ announcement about UCLA came hours after the university said it would pay $6.45 million to settle a federal lawsuit brought by three Jewish students and a medical school professor who alleged the university violated their civil rights and enabled antisemitism during the pro-Palestinian encampment.
The DOJ letter cited that lawsuit’s filings as part of its investigations, though it did not mention the settlement.
It also said it looked into documentation UCLA shared about its anti-discrimination policies and practices as well as complaints about discrimination related to religion, national origin, race, shared ancestry, and color on campus since Oct. 7, 2023. That day is when Hamas attacked Israel, leading to Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, and spurring protests across U.S. colleges.

What is it with socialists hating Jews?
Can it get any better?
“””In a statement, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Trump administration will make UCLA pay a “heavy price.”
It’s nice to see them going after some West coast colleges for a change.
Outstanding, Mr. President!
Yes, it can be better.
It can get better by the DOJ going after all the institutions that didn't protect whites from intimidation, harassment, and assaults during the Summer of Floyd.
Think that will happen?
