The Office for Civil Rights has resolved six investigations into how colleges responded to reports of antisemitism. The findings show how those colleges fell short of federal law and hold lessons for the rest of higher ed. Over the course of nearly a decade, Jewish students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reported more than 135 incidents of alleged antisemitism. In one, a student was reportedly targeted because he was Jewish, with the alleged attacker later telling him, “I wish my ancestors finished the job on you.” In other incidents, an unidentified person threw a brick through a window of a Jewish fraternity house; another carved a swastika in a campus bathroom.
