From: tjlodge50@PROTECTED Haaretz | Israel News Complaint Filed Against Ohio State for Failing to Address Harassment of Jewish Students Complaint urges Department of Education to force Ohio State to undertake measures to guarantee the safety of Jewish and Israeli students and to provide mandatory antisemitism training to faculty, students and staff Judy Maltz Apr 10, 2024 12:21 am IDT Several Jewish groups filed a complaint on Tuesday with the U.S. Department of Education alleging that Ohio State University has failed to address discrimination and harassment of Jewish and Israeli students on its campus since October 7. The complaint, which seeks remedies under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, was filed by the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, in conjunction with the Anti-Defamation League and StandWithUs, an organization that advocates for Israel. Among other incidents listed in the complaint, two Jewish students at Ohio State were hospitalized in November with broken bones, after being assaulted by a number of men on campus who asked if they were Jewish and called them "Zionist Kikes." In another incident, a mezuzah was ripped off the doorpost of a Jewish student in January. In yet another incident, in February, Jewish students having Shabbat dinner at the campus Hillel building were repeatedly disrupted by protesters banging on the window and shouting "Free Palestine." The complaint urges the Department of Education to force Ohio State to undertake measures to guarantee the safety of Jewish and Israeli students and to provide mandatory antisemitism training to faculty, students and staff. Since October 7, the Brandeis Center – often in partnership with other Jewish organizations – has filed similar complaints against Wellesely, SUNY New Paltz, the University of Southern California, Brooklyn College, the University of Illinois, American University, University of California, Berkeley, and the Berkeley Unified School District.
