Pomona College reached a 27‑page settlement resolving an Education Department civil‑rights complaint linked to large pro‑Palestinian protests. Under the agreement, Pomona acknowledged that anti‑Zionist speech can in some contexts constitute antisemitism, committed to expanded training and programming, restricted masked protests and agreed to appoint a civil‑rights or Title VI coordinator. The college also said it will warn students that certain rhetoric and Holocaust imagery can meet the threshold for harassment. The settlement signals increased federal scrutiny of how institutions adjudicate competing speech and harassment claims on campus. Administrators framed the agreement as a path to protect Jewish students while preserving debate; civil‑rights enforcement and policy guidance such as the IHRA working definition of antisemitism were referenced as tools the college will consider in future investigations. The case will likely factor into how other private and public institutions write protest, masking and harassment policies going forward.
