Ohio State University Faces Federal Complaint Over Antisemitism Response

National groups allege Ohio State has not adequately addressed harassment of Jewish and Israeli students, leading to a federal investigation.

Three national groups have filed a Title IX complaint against Ohio State University, alleging inadequate response to antisemitism on campus.
The complaint cites various forms of harassment against Jewish and Israeli students, including physical assaults, graffiti, and verbal threats since October 7, 2023.
Ohio State University defends its actions, stating it has been supportive of its community and disputes the complaint's portrayal.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights opened a Title VI investigation into Ohio State in January over similar allegations.
The groups demand actions from Ohio State, including issuing a statement condemning antisemitism, increasing security, and providing mandatory antisemitism training.
