Temple University Under DOE Investigation for Anti-Semitism on Campus

Hat tip Campus Reform and Amcha Initiative

The Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights has its hands full these days investigating universities plagued by anti-Semitism, thanks mostly to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They have now initiated an investigation into Temple University (home of the Owls) in Philadelphia following a complaint lodged by Zachary Marschall, editor-in-chief of Campus Reform, a blog site that covers campus controversies and is currently focusing on the issue of campus anti-Semitism.

In my view, the DOE's investigation is long overdue. Just going back through the archives of this site, it is clear that these problems have existed at Temple for several years. In fact, I even wrote a letter to the president of Temple back in 2014 complaining about the tactics of Students for Justice in Palestine. 

Here is how the Temple News (campus newspaper) is reporting the story.

In addition, here is the link describing problems at Temple as compiled by the Amcha Initiative, an organization dedicated to exposing and fighting campus anti-Semitism.
