The attorneys said the ban constitutes a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prevents recipients of federal funds from discriminating based on race and national origin, according to the original complaint.<\/p>\n<p>Federal authorities will investigate Berkeley to determine if the school &#8220;failed to respond appropriately in the fall 2022 semester to notice from Jewish law students, faculty, and staff that they experienced a hostile environment at the law school based on their shared Jewish ancestry when university-recognized student organizations passed a bylaw against inviting speakers who support \u2018Zionism, the state of Israel, and the occupation of Palestine,'&#8221; according to the Education Department.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation is the culmination of a prolonged battle between Israel&#8217;s defenders and anti-Semitic Berkeley student groups that have been trying to intimidate and threaten Jewish and pro-Israel students. Berkeley has become a poster child for the rising tide of anti-Semitism plaguing many college campuses across the nation. Jewish and pro-Israel students are being targeted at historic levels, with <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/report-anti-semitic-hate-crimes-on-u-s-college-campuses-skyrocket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one study<\/a> showing that these types of assaults on Jewish identity doubled in the 2021-2022 academic year. The federal investigation into Berkeley Law School is a sign that the Education Department is aware this trend is dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Florida-based attorney Gabriel Groisman and the International Legal Forum, a global watchdog that fights anti-Semitism in late November first <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/complaint-alleges-profound-and-deep-seated-anti-semitic-discrimination-at-berkeley-law-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">petitioned<\/a> the Education Department&#8217;s Office on Civil Rights to open an investigation into the prestigious law school.<\/p>\n<p>Groisman and Arsen Ostrovsky, the International Legal Forum&#8217;s CEO, said in a joint statement that the discrimination against Jewish students at schools like Berkeley is fueling anti-Semitism across America at a time when prominent celebrities and athletes such as Kanye West and Kyrie Irving are mainstreaming these attitudes. West and Irving have both been under fire for promoting anti-Semitic canards about Jewish wealth and power.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We initiated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Education is investigating the University of California, Berkeley, Law School over allegations that the school is fostering &#8220;profound and deep-seated anti-Semitic discrimination&#8221; that has created an unsafe environment for Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus.<br \/>\nThe post Feds Open Investigation Into \u2018Deep-Seated Anti-Semitic Discrimination\u2019 at Berkeley Law School appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":117,"featured_media":1776790,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[9430,5977,4092,5727,5102,6617,3976,6547,3924],"class_list":["post-1776787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-deep-seated","tag-anti-semitic","tag-beacon","tag-berkeley","tag-discrimination","tag-feds","tag-investigation","tag-law","tag-school"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/117"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1776787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1776790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1776787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1776787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1776787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
