The Justice Department sued the University of California, Los Angeles on Tuesday, accusing UCLA of fostering a “hostile educational environment” for Jewish and Israeli students during and after the wave of pro-Palestinian campus protests that erupted following Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.

The 53-page lawsuit, filed in federal court in the Central District of California, alleges UCLA violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by acting with “deliberate indifference” toward antisemitic harassment, assaults, and exclusionary conduct directed at Jewish and Israeli students.
