The US federal government has launched civil rights investigations into seven educational institutions, including Ivy League schools, following allegations of antisemitism or Islamophobia since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Department of Education announced the inquiries as part of the Biden administration's efforts to combat discrimination. Schools found to have violated civil rights laws may face penalties, including the loss of federal funding. The investigations are in response to allegations of antisemitic or anti-Muslim harassment, but the specific schools involved have not been disclosed.
