Justice Department Sues UCLA Over Alleged Anti-Semitic Work Environment

The U.S. Justice Department sued the University of California on Feb. 24, alleging its Los Angeles campus (UCLA) fosters a hostile work environment for Jewish and Israeli faculty and staff in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The lawsuit claims UCLA engaged in a pattern of discrimination against Jewish and Israeli staff after the Hamas-led massacre in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Prosecutors say the institution’s anti-discrimination policy was poorly designed and made it difficult for victims to report hostile work environment claims.

“Based on our investigation, UCLA administrators allegedly allowed virulent anti-Semitism to flourish on campus, harming students and staff alike,” said U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. “Today’s lawsuit underscores that this Department of Justice stands strong against hate and anti-Semitism.”
