Trump administration sues over alleged 'antisemitic hostile work environment' at UCLA
The DOJ alleges UCLA tolerated antisemitic harassment after the 2023 Hamas attack, violating federal civil rights law and creating a hostile environment for Jewish and Israeli employees.
- On Tuesday, Feb. 24, the U.S. Department of Justice sued the University of California, alleging the UCLA campus created a `hostile work environment` for Jewish and Israeli employees.
- After Oct. 7, 2023, pro-Palestinian encampments and protests spread across UCLA, leading to a DOJ investigation in March 2025 and a July 2025 finding of violations that froze $584 million in federal grants.
- Investigators allege swastikas, calls for extermination, assaults, and exclusion incidents on UCLA campus, with the UCLA Task Force on Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias finding the atmosphere `so severe and so pervasive` and more than 200 people arrested.
- The complaint asks a judge to force UCLA to investigate complaints, enforce policies, provide training, and award damages to Jewish and Israeli employees and two UCLA professors, risking impacts on the University of California system's federal funding.
- The suit fits into a broader Trump administration campaign targeting universities, with critics warning it risks weaponizing antisemitism to reshape higher education and threaten academic freedom.
