Senate Judiciary Committee Recognizes UC Irvine Anti-Semitism

Full article (here).

In an interesting turn of events, the US Senate Judiciary Committee has now decided to weigh in on the issue of antisemitism at UC Irvine. In a letter to the US Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (signed only by Republican Senators Jon Kyl, Sam Brownback, and Arlen Specter) , certain members of the committee demand that the Office of Civil Rights pursue their investigation into claims of antisemitic harassment at UCI in part because the incidents on campus fall under Title VI, of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, that is, the prohibition of national origin discrimination in programs and activities receiving federal assistance.
