A new whistleblower complaint accuses the Department of Justice (DOJ) of having “predetermined” outcomes when it launched antisemitism investigations into Ivy League schools, writing that in some cases, investigators failed to find any violations of the law when the Trump administration demanded settlements.
The whistleblowers’ account accuses the Trump administration of speeding investigations, demanding a settlement from Brown University even after finding “evidence did not support a Title VI violation” and interviewing Muslim university staff unconnected to their investigations “not ‘to get information’” but to “elicit” remarks. Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race or national origin.
The complaint filed with congressional committees comes from at least three DOJ attorneys who were temporarily assigned to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to investigate Title VI medical schools, including allegations of discrimination rooted in antisemitism.
It has spurred an investigation from Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, who accused the DOJ of having “exploited genuine concerns voiced about Jewish safety” to launch a “sham investigation” of perceived enemies in academia.
