NYU to Revise Discrimination Policy following Anti-Semitic Activity on Campus
(Jewish Insider) Melissa Weiss - New York University has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) following a complaint filed on behalf of an NYU student that cited numerous instances of anti-Semitic activity on campus. The agreement is the first since a presidential executive order in December 2019 added anti-Semitism to the list of forms of discrimination prohibited by Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. NYU will revise its non-discrimination and anti-harassment policies to include shared ancestry and ethnic characteristics, including anti-Semitism, as factors that cannot be discriminated against.
