The Education Department has opening an investigation at the University of California-Berkley into protesters violently shuttering an event last month organized independently by Jewish student groups.
The probe began Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
Berkley joins a growing list of colleges across the U.S. investigation for alleged discrimination following the Israel-Hamas war that began in early October 2023.
Campus police are already investigating the matter.
Roughly 200 protesters reportedly targeted the event because the scheduled speaker was Ran Bar-Yoshafat, an Israeli attorney and former member of the Israeli military.
Among the other schools under federal investigation for possible civil rights violations are UCLA, UC San Diego, Stanford and Santa Monica College.
