Jewish employees at Stanford University have experienced severe and persistent anti-Jewish harassment, according to a complaint filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing. See the Stanford case materials here. The complaint, which was announced for the first time on June 15, 2021, alleges that Stanford University’s Counseling & Psychological Services division has created and fostered a hostile and unwelcoming environment for Jews in its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act.
