DOJ Whistleblower Alleges Antisemitism Probes Were Political

A Justice Department whistleblower alleges that antisemitism investigations targeting Harvard, Columbia, Brown, and other universities were launched with little evidence and designed to strong-arm schools into cutting deals for political purposes.

The Justice Department says it stands behind the integrity of the investigations. Brown separately agreed to fund Rhode Island workforce development groups to end three federal investigations, with no findings of wrongdoing.
