Drexel University has entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Education to improve its handling of discrimination complaints related to shared ancestry, following a federal investigation that revealed deficiencies in the university's response to 35 reported incidents of harassment against Jewish students. The probe was initiated after a dormitory fire incident but found no evidence of antisemitism or hate crime. However, it highlighted a hostile environment at Drexel, marked by anti-Jewish graffiti and social media threats over the past year and a half. In response, the university will review past complaints, enhance training for faculty and staff, and revise its policies regarding discrimination investigations. This investigation is part of a broader initiative involving over 150 similar cases across educational institutions after the October 7 attack on Israel. Drexel's president emphasized a commitment to preventing all forms of discrimination and harassment on campus.
