LOS ANGELES -- The University of California has resolved nine federal civil rights complaints of antisemitism and bias against Muslim, Arab and pro-Palestinian students stemming from Israel-Hamas war protests at five UC campuses, the U.S. Department of Education announced Friday.
The complaints alleged that UCLA, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Davis and Santa Cruz failed to respond promptly or effectively to harassment of their students based on their actual or perceived national origin and that some of the UC campuses subjected these students to different treatment over access to university programs.
