Rutgers agrees to review policies and train staff after over 400 discrimination complaints by Jewish and Muslim students.

Rutgers University has agreed to review its nondiscrimination policies and provide additional training for staff following complaints of discrimination against Jewish and Muslim students. The agreement with the U.S. Department of Education comes after over 400 reports of discrimination were filed between July 2023 and June 2024. Rutgers will also hold listening sessions and issue a statement against discrimination. The action addresses concerns of a hostile environment based on national origin and shared ancestry, under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
