DOJ finds UCLA violated Jewish students’ civil rights

Published July 30, 2025 1:53pm ET



The Department of Justice on Tuesday reported its investigation into the University of California, Los Angeles, and determined the school violated Jewish students’ civil rights by failing to adequately respond to complaints of harassment and abuse they suffered on campus. 

“Our investigation into the University of California system has found concerning evidence of systemic anti-Semitism at UCLA that demands severe accountability from the institution,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi. “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.”
