Reed College agreed to expand campus antisemitism protections to settle a federal civil-rights complaint from two Jewish students who reported antisemitic harassment and left the school after incidents in May 2024. According to the complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, students said their dorm-room mezuzah was torn down and smashed, and one student was later hit in the head by a rock thrown through a window. OCR-guided mediation produced a settlement nearly two years after the complaint was filed in September 2024. Under the settlement, Reed does not admit liability and the students drop claims, but the college must implement mandatory campuswide antisemitism training developed with the Anti-Defamation League and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law. The agreement also requires using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism in investigations, clarifying prohibited discrimination or harassment tied to Jewish and Israeli identity (including Zionism-related beliefs), and adding a Title VI coordinator. Reed must also hire an independent consultant to evaluate its response over three years and issue an annual statement denouncing antisemitism for the next two years—moving compliance expectations in line with recent settlements involving other institutions.
