The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened a formal investigation into a complaint filed by the Brandeis Center and Jewish on Campus against the University of Vermont (UVM), where Jewish students have been subjected to severe and persistent anti-Semitic harassment and discrimination. Anti-Jewish incidents ranged from the exclusion of Jewish students from a campus sexual assault survivors’ group and a university recognized student book club, online harassment against Jewish students by a Teaching Assistant, and the targeting of the UVM Hillel building. Jewish students have expressed fear about identifying publicly as Jewish, report hiding their Jewish identity and have considered transferring out of UVM due to the hostile environment toward Jews. UVM has allowed a hostile environment to proliferate on its campus in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
