华盛顿5月26日路透社电——美国司法部民权司周二对加州大学洛杉矶分校提起诉讼,指控该校容忍针对犹太和以色列学生的敌对教育环境。

司法部在起诉书中指控加州大学洛杉矶分校违反了《第六修正案》——这项联邦法律禁止任何接受联邦财政援助的项目或活动基于种族、肤色或国籍进行歧视,称其“对校园内普遍存在的反犹太主义故意漠不关心”。

诉讼指向该校2024年4月在校园内搭建的营地。司法部称该行为非法,并指控犹太学生遭到袭击。

“大学有义务为所有学生维护安全且包容的校园环境,”加州中区联邦助理总检察长比尔·埃塞利说道。

“那些一再未能保护犹太学生免受反犹太主义迫害,违反我国民权法律的大学,将被追究责任。”

记者置评请求发出后,加州大学洛杉矶分校未立即回应。

司法部宣布提起诉讼前不久,联邦上诉法院周二早些时候部分维持了一项禁令,要求恢复特朗普政府去年因认为加州大学系统的拨款支持多元化、公平与包容(DEI)政策而终止的拨款。

这起诉讼是特朗普政府在哈马斯2023年10月7日袭击以色列后,针对其所称的美国大学反犹太主义问题采取的最新法律行动。

2023年的袭击造成超过1200人死亡,由此引发了以色列-加沙战争。这场战争已有超过7.5万人丧生。

美国和欧洲各地数百名学生在战争爆发后举行抗议,呼吁停火结束战争。在一些情况下,学生占领了校园建筑。

WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit ​against the University of California Los Angeles on Tuesday, alleging it tolerated ‌a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students.

In its complaint, the Justice Department accused UCLA of violating Title VI – a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, ​color, or national origin in any program or activity receiving federal financial ​assistance – “through its deliberate indifference to this pervasive on-campus antisemitism.”

The lawsuit pointed ⁠to an encampment that was built on the university’s campus in April 2024. ​The Justice Department described the move as illegal and alleged that Jewish students ​were attacked.

“Universities have an obligation to maintain safe and inclusive campuses for all students,” said Bill Essayli, the first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California.

“Universities that violate ​our nation’s civil rights laws by repeatedly failing to shield Jewish students from ​antisemitism will be held accountable.”

UCLA did not immediately respond when reached for comment.

The Justice Department ‌announced ⁠the lawsuit shortly after a federal appeals court earlier on Tuesday partially upheld an injunction that required it to restore grants awarded to the University of California that the Trump administration had terminated last year because it perceived they ​supported diversity, equity and ​inclusion, or DEI.

The ⁠lawsuit is the latest legal action taken by the Trump administration to crackdown on what it has described as ​antisemitism at U.S. universities in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. ​7, 2023, ⁠attacks on Israel.

The 2023 attack, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,200 people, launched the Israel-Gaza war. Over 75,000 people have died in the war.

Hundreds of ⁠students ​across the U.S. and Europe held demonstrations in ​wake of the war, calling for a ceasefire to end the war. In some cases, students occupied campus ​buildings.
