司法部与教育部同北卡大学教堂山分校达成全校性和解 终结Title VI反犹太主义与种族歧视调查

华盛顿——美国司法部10月19日宣布,司法部民权司与教育部民权办公室(ED-OCR)已与北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校(UNC)达成一项自愿的全校性和解协议,终结校园内的反犹太主义与种族歧视问题。该协议结案了两部门依据1964年《民权法》第六章(Title VI)开展的调查;据校方介绍,协议共涵盖18项联邦民权调查及一项司法部合规审查,事项最早可追溯至2019年、横跨两届政府,包括招生做法是否符合Title VI的审查。校方将在协议期内按季度提交合规报告;其余调查在校方履行义务后将以无不利处理、无不利结论方式结案。协议同时明确,校方不承认存在违法或责任。司法部民权司助理总检察长 Harmeet K. Dhillon 表示,Title VI要求所有学生无论血统或种族都应在法律下获得平等对待,并对UNC以合作方式履行联邦法义务、无需诉讼表示肯定。教育部民权办公室助理部长 Kimberly Richey 表示,协议是维护民权法、恢复公众对高等教育信心的重要一步,学生今后应凭成绩而非种族被评估,犹太学生也能免受反犹太主义歧视。
Justice and Education Departments Reach University-Wide Settlement With UNC-Chapel Hill Ending Title VI Antisemitism and Race Discrimination Investigations
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 19 that its Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (ED-OCR) have entered a voluntary, university-wide settlement agreement with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) to end antisemitism and race discrimination on campus. The agreement resolves investigations conducted under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin. According to the university, the agreement covers 18 federal civil rights investigations and a Justice Department compliance review involving matters dating back to 2019 and spanning two administrations, including a review of UNC's admissions practices. Carolina will provide quarterly compliance reports, and the remaining investigations will close without adverse action or findings once the university completes its obligations; the agreement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division commended UNC for meeting its obligations under federal law without litigation. Assistant Secretary Kimberly Richey of the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights said the agreement is an important step in upholding civil rights laws and restoring confidence in higher education, ensuring students are assessed on merit, not race, and that Jewish students can learn without the threat of antisemitic discrimination.
