"The University of California, Berkeley, told about 160 faculty, staff and students on Sept. 4 that their names appeared in documents officials gave to the Trump administration, which is investigating the university's response to reports of campus antisemitism, The New York Times reported. According to Berkeley, the 160 names provided to the Education Department in compliance with the investigation include people accused of or affected by antisemitic incidents, as well as those who filed complaints about antisemitism on campus."
"Berkeley's decision to hand over the 160 names comes two months after House Republicans grilled Berkeley's chancellor, Rich Lyons, and two other university leaders at a hearing about their alleged failures to protect Jewish students from discrimination and harassment. At the hearing, Lyons said the university has an "obligation to protect our community from discrimination and harassment" and uphold the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech."

Berkeley is one of multiple institutions under federal scrutiny, and the UC system is managing demands tied to a $1.2 billion settlement and frozen federal research funds. The disclosure followed a congressional hearing criticizing university leaders for alleged failures to protect Jewish students. The UC system said it will protect privacy while fulfilling legal obligations.
