Leo Terrell is a leading task force member and senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights. He informed the 10 schools of the upcoming visits, according to The Hill.
“The President, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, and the entire Administration are committed to ensuring that no one should feel unsafe or unwelcome on campus because of their religion,” Terrell said.
What schools will be visited?
These 10 schools will be visited by the DOJ task force:
- Columbia University
- George Washington University
- Harvard University
- Johns Hopkins University
- New York University
- Northwestern University
- The University of California, Los Angeles
- The University of California, Berkeley
- The University of Minnesota
- The University of Southern California
What are these schools accused of doing?
Since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which led to the war in Gaza, antisemitism incidents skyrocketed in the U.S. Many of those incidents were reported on college campuses.
Republican lawmakers launched a year-long investigation into the incidents and have had multiple hearings. The investigation led to the resignations of at least two university presidents. That includes Harvard President Claudine Gay.
In July, Harvard University also agreed to settle two lawsuits that accused the Ivy League school of not doing enough to protect Jewish students.
