The White House on Tuesday announced a handful of additional actions intended to curb antisemitism on college campuses and elsewhere amid a rise in discrimination toward Jewish people following the terrorist attacks in Israel last October.
The Biden administration rolled out the new measures to coincide with Holocaust Remembrance Day. President Biden will mark the day by delivering remarks at a ceremony hosted by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
The additional steps include new guidance from the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights to every school district and college in the country, providing examples of antisemitic discrimination and other forms of hate that could prompt investigations over violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Department of Homeland Security will work with partners to build an online campus safety resources guide to provide assistance to campuses via one portal.
