The Department of Education (DOE)  has issued a warning to the University of Washington (UW) and 59 schools nationwide, including five other Northwest universities, urging them to address antisemitic discrimination and harassment.

The U.S. Department of Education warned of strict action against the University of Washington if they do not mitigate “antisemitic harassment and discrimination" against Jewish students.

Three Washington universities have been sent letters by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), warning of possible actions against them if they do not “fulfill their obligations” to address anti-Semitic discrimination and harassment on campus.
