Colleges investigated for Title IX violations The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights is investigating 60 universities for antisemitism, including Northwestern University in Evanston. The department said the institutions are receiving warnings due to allegedly not complying with Title IX obligations to protect Jewish students.

Northwestern and Illinois Wesleyan universities were among those that received notice from the department of potential Title VI violations stemming from what it called “antisemitic harassment and discrimination.
