U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona has publicly addressed the issue of antisemitism on college campuses, declaring it a form of discrimination that is prohibited. This statement comes amid concerns raised at Florida International University (FIU) where a student highlighted during a student government meeting in February that 'anti-Jewish' students feel unprotected during protests. The debate occurred in the context of a 'Ceasefire now' resolution, underscoring the tensions and the perceived need for greater protection for Jewish students.
