Kennedy Jr. Warned that any university allowing violence, harassment, or intimidation targeting Jewish students risks losing billions in federal funding, while the Task Force emphasized that the University of Washington must take stronger measures to guarantee a safe and supportive educational environment for all students.
- The review could lead to withholding federal funding from UW if policy and enforcement improvements are not made, highlighting federal efforts to uphold civil rights and campus safety amid repeated antisemitic incidents nationwide.
