#Drumpf admin targeting of top universities does not spare #UCBerkeley that has been targeted and probed by the pro wrestling doyenne now also in charge of the Dept of #Education.

Linda McMahon's #RWNJ minions have put the top #WestCoast public #university and research center under heat lamp of scrutiny for taking in hundreds of millions in donor dollars linked to foreign governments including #China, and a supposed culture of Title VI #discrimination against white and Jewish students. The President has personally targeted and threatened defending the top school for years, dating back to his first term.

Not only has the campus been accused of the #CampusAntiSemitism trope but are dealing with 117 total issues laid out by federal authorities now seeking to defund the institution.

נאריש זשלאָב מענטש

"Roger Studley, founder and community manager of #Berkeley #Moshav, said the idea has been in development for more than a decade. He was first introduced to the concept of #cohousing while in graduate school at #UCBerkeley, around the same time he was reconnecting with his #Jewish roots after years of distance from #Judaism.

As Studley deepened his involvement in Jewish life, he began to imagine a blending of these two ideas. The result was the formation of #BerkeleyMoshav — a community where Jewish life will be one aspect of daily living, but where people of all backgrounds are welcome, he said."

#US / Israeli Postdoc sues UC Berkeley Student Union, Alleging anti-Semitic discrimination

Karin Yaniv, an Israeli postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley, has filed a federal lawsuit against her graduate student union, alleging that the union has created a hostile work environment for Israeli Jews.

Yaniv claims the union's actions, which she characterizes as anti-Semitic, violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the California state law. The complaint details numerous instances of alleged discrimination, including the union making anti-Israel statements, supporting anti-Israel protests and the #BDS movement, and marginalizing Jewish union members. Yaniv seeks a court order to stop the alleged discrimination, require anti-discrimination training, and award damages. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

Yaniv is represented by the Fairness Center. #Ynet published this story today with a typical hyperbolic "culture of anti-Semitism" in the headline, forgetting to explain to their readers that the so-called "Fairness Center" is a right-wing litigation center that primarily pursues anti-union litigation. It offers free legal aid to those allegedly harmed by public employee union officials. Nothing to do with anti-Semitism, it seems, rather union-busting.
