The thing about the Title VI funding terminations, on grounds of “antisemitism,” is that it’s not just illegal and pretextual, but it’s a sneering, racist insult against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - an intentional abuse of its powers to target minorities and equal education.

Our client Rümeysa Öztürk spent the last 6 weeks in an ICE detention facility in Louisiana — all in retaliation for an op-ed she co-authored.
