Combating Antisemitism on Campus: What Legal Avenues Can Lawyers and Law Students Take?

Join us for a comprehensive presentation on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act for students, led by Amy Feinman, VP Policy Counsel at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

This session will provide a clear overview of: 1. Types and examples of discrimination prohibited under Title VI; 2. Who is protected by Title VI; 3. How a hostile environment is created; 4. What schools must do to address a hostile environment, including when protected speech is involved; and 5. Examples of best practices and lessons learned.

Following the training, there will be a 15-minute Q&A session for attendees to ask questions.
