(Jewish Group) Feds to probe students' complaints of antisemitism at Brooklyn College
A federal investigation has been launched into complaints by Jewish students at Brooklyn College that they have been subjected to “severe and persistent harassment” in the Mental Health Counseling master’s program.
The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights last week informed the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, which prepared the complaint, that it had opened the probe.
The complaint alleges that Jewish students in the MHC program have been “bullied and harassed in class discussions and on social media by student peers, who target Jewish students using the same ethnic stereotypes, anti-Semitic tropes and divisive concepts that faculty members promote in their courses.”
The complaint cites the example of a professor who claimed that Ashkenazi Jews who immigrated to America have become “oppressors.” In another, a professor allegedly rebuked a Jewish student for ranking the student’s Jewish identity before their white identity, suggesting the student “did not understand oppression.”
