US human rights body issues recommendations on discrimination against Jewish students
Responding to allegations of an anti-Israel bias on college campuses in the United States , the Commission on Civil Rights has approved recommendations aimed at ensuring that Jewish college students are protected from anti-Semitic harassment. The Commission, an independent, bi-partisan federal agency, also urged university leaders to "set a moral example by denouncing anti-Semitic and other hate speech," and to ensure that Middle East studies departments protect the rights of all students, according to the newspaper "USA Today". The watchdog recommended that the Department of Education "vigorously" enforce laws prohibiting discrimination based on "race, color or national origin," and that Congress clarify that "national origin" can refer to Jewish heritage. "We should inform students of their right" to file a complaint if they believe they have been harassed, commissioner Jennifer Braceras was quoted by "USA Today" as saying.
