The federal agency has begun contacting faculty and staff members to “review allegations of antisemitism,” Chancellor Mildred García told the system.
Dive Brief:
The California State University is facing a probe from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over antisemitism-related allegations, according to a Friday email from Chancellor Mildred García to the system’s 23 campuses.
The EEOC has begun directly contacting faculty and staff members across the system “to review allegations of antisemitism and to speak with them about their experiences on campus,” García said in the email.
This isn’t the first time the Trump administration has opened a probe into an entire university system. The U.S. Department of Justice is also investigating the University of California system over a plan that focuses in part on hiring diverse faculty members, alleging it may have violated federal antidiscrimination law.
