Two lawyers filed a complaint on Nov. 18 with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) against the University of California, Berkeley over what they consider antisemitic student group policies.

In August, the UC Berkeley student group Law Students for Justice in Palestine adopted a bylaw stating that the group will not invite Zionist speakers to their events. Several other student groups at UC Berkeley adopted the bylaw as well.
