The U.S. Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the University of Washington regarding allegations of antisemitic harassment on campus. The probe will examine whether the university failed to respond adequately to incidents that created a hostile environment for Jewish students. These incidents reportedly included protests where groups like Hezbollah were glorified, crossing a line from protected speech into intimidation. The investigation underscores the federal government's increased scrutiny of campus antisemitism under the current administration.
