It was the first claim of its kind to be filed since the president signed the executive order.
Empowered by President Donald Trump's executive order broadening what constitutes discrimination against Jewish people, a student at Columbia University is taking up his claims with the U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights .
Trump's December 13 executive order defines certain anti-Semitic acts as discrimination under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Experts toldthat broadening protections for Jewish students could create an influx in discrimination claims. A week after Trump signed the executive order, Jonathan Karten, an Israeli-American student, asked the OCR to investigate Columbia.
Brooke Goldstein, executive director of the Lawfare Project, said in a statement that Trump's executive order gave the organization a"legal avenue to stop this type of hatred from being perpetuated in our schools."
