California’s largest university allegedly has continued to demonstrate “deliberate indifference” to discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students despite prior federal complaints of anti-Semitic activities, the Department of Justice said in a recent lawsuit.

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division filed the complaint in the Central District of California federal court on Tuesday. The lawsuit says the University of California–Los Angeles (UCLA) administrators violated Civil Rights laws by not responding to incidents on campus.
