Education Dept finds CUNY, Michigan failed to assess if Israel-Hamas protests created hostile environment

The University of Michigan and the City University of New York did not adequately investigate if campus protests and other incidents in response to the Israel-Hamas war created a hostile environment for students, faculty and staff, according to the results of investigations by the U.S. Education Department announced Monday.

The agreements are the first investigations to reach a conclusion among dozens launched by the Education Department since Oct. 7, the day Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel.
