The University of California, Berkeley, is under Congress's investigation for its ‘failure to protect Jewish students, faculty’ from antisemitism and harassment. The University of Pennsylvania has suspended the radical pro-Hamas student group, Penn Against the Occupation, amid investigations into dozens of recent antisemitic incidents. Representative Nancy Mace, advocating for #ZeroTolerance, has urged the Department of Education (DOE) to enforce Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, requiring universities to report antisemitic incidents or risk funding. The House Education and the Workforce Committee, led by Chairwoman Virginia Foxx, a North Carolina Republican, is probing an incident involving an anti-Israel mob at UC Berkeley. Additionally, UC Berkeley's police have initiated a hate-crime investigation into overtly antisemitic expressions, including physical battery against Jewish students.

The surge in Antisemitism and Islamophobia -online and offline - is extremely dangerous. With @USAmbCanada at @uocommonlaw, we had an honest conversation on the rise of hate and how now, more than ever, we must speak out and stand together. https://t.co/EqJtvYajHF

🚨 We're putting universities on notice! 🚨 Calling on @usedgov to adopt a uniform reporting system for antisemitic bias & discrimination in federally funded colleges. Let's unite against campus hate. #ZeroTolerance https://t.co/0I6R91W3gJ
Our letter to @usedgov emphasizes the necessity of enforcing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to combat antisemitic discrimination. Every student deserves to learn in an environment free from fear. #ZeroTolerance https://t.co/gu3ZTSDeHX
Earlier this week I spoke to school administrators from major US universities including Dartmouth and Stanford about how to deter the alarming antisemitism and harassment Jewish students are receiving on campus.

This week, we stood in solidarity with Jewish students facing campus antisemitism, urging the DOE for more than just lip service.

I’ve made it clear: there is no tolerance for hate of any kind on campus’. Hopeful conversation with #ZeroTolerance, an Olami project committed to ending antisemitism at schools and making sure students feel safe/accepted. I’m all in. https://t.co/P9gYy5nVbV
