The Department of Education has opened an investigation into Youngstown State University over its alleged failure to respond to anti-Semitism on its campus.
The complaint, filed by Campus Reform Editor-in-Chief Dr. Zachary Marschall, cited incidents at Youngstown State following the terrorist attack committed by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023.
On October 19, 2023, Youngstown State University Students for Justice in Palestine President Tala Alsharif declined to condemn Hamas in an interview with Campus Reform.
Instead, Alsharif condemned “violence” from Israel that’s committed against Palestinians.
”Hamas does not have a milit[ary]– We don’t have– I’m not– I’m not here to support Hamas, okay?” Alsharif said. “I’m just--I don’t understand what’s--- why should I condemn anything?”
