According to its press release, the Anti-Defamation League, together with several other Jewish organizations, has written a letter to the Secretary of Education Arne Duncan,
…urging him to interpret existing law to ensure that Jewish students are protected against anti-Semitic harassment, intimidation and discrimination on campus.
The League urged Secretary Duncan to clarify the authority of the Department’s Office for Civil Rights to protect Jewish students who are threatened, harassed, or intimidated on their campuses because of their religion or ethnic identity.
The ADL said that it had “significant concerns about harassment and intimidation of Jewish students on college campuses – including in the context of heated debate over Israel.”
