The University of California, Berkeley, told about 160 faculty, staff and students on Sept.\u00a04 that their names appeared in documents officials gave to the Trump administration, which is investigating the university\u2019s response to reports of campus antisemitism, The New York Times<\/em> reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Berkeley, the 160 names provided to the Education Department in compliance with the investigation include people accused of or affected by antisemitic incidents, as well as those who filed complaints about antisemitism on campus.<\/p>\n Berkeley is one of numerous higher education institutions the Trump administration is investigating for alleged antisemitism, including the University of California, Los Angeles. The UC system is also weighing Trump\u2019s demands that UCLA pay the government a $1.2\u00a0billion settlement to restore $584\u00a0million in frozen federal research funding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Berkeley\u2019s decision to hand over the 160 names comes two months after House Republicans grilled Berkeley\u2019s chancellor, Rich Lyons, and two other university leaders at a hearing about their alleged failures to protect Jewish students from discrimination and harassment. At the hearing, Lyons said the university has an \u201cobligation to protect our community from discrimination and harassment\u201d and uphold the First Amendment\u2019s guarantee of free speech.<\/p>\n While some alumni criticized Berkeley\u2019s compliance with the Trump administration\u2019s investigation, the UC system said in a statement to the Times<\/em> that it\u2019s \u201ccommitted to protecting the privacy of our students, faculty, and staff to the greatest extent possible, while fulfilling its legal obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The names of faculty, students and staff were contained in documents related to a federal investigation on alleged campus antisemitism.
