The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation into the University of Minnesota following a complaint regarding antisemitism on the Twin Cities campus. The university is among 99 schools currently under investigation for discrimination based on shared ancestry or nationality. This move comes after the department announced its commitment to combating the rise of antisemitism and Islamophobia across the nation. The complaint, filed by law Professor Richard Painter and former U Regent Michael Hsu, highlighted concerns over pro-Palestinian statements made by faculty members on an official university website. The university has not yet commented on the federal investigation. Typically, investigations of this nature involve interviews and requests for records from the schools in question. In the past, schools found to be in violation have been required to enhance harassment trainings and strengthen their policies against discrimination. The investigation is expected to take several months.
