The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and Jewish Americans for Fairness in Education are suing the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights for dismissing a complaint against the University of Pennsylvania, in which the Brandeis Center alleged that Penn had fostered a hostile environment for Jewish students on its campus before and after the onset of the Israel-Hamas war last October.
