Most professors at Barnard College received text messages on Monday notifying them that a federal agency was reviewing the college’s employment practices, according to copies of the messages reviewed by The Intercept.
The messages, sent to most Barnard professors’ personal cellphones, asked them to complete a voluntary survey about their employment.
“Please select all that apply,” said the second question in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, survey.
The choices followed: “I am Jewish”; “I am Israeli”; “I have shared Jewish/Israeli ancestry”; “I practice Judaism”; and “Other.”
Other questions asked respondents whether they had been subjected to antisemitism, as well as whether they were subject to “unwelcome discussions,” graffiti or signs depicting antisemitic messages or images, antisemitic or anti-Israeli protests, “unwelcome comments, jokes or discussions,” or “pressure to abandon, change or adopt a practice or religious belief.”
“The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister,” said Barnard associate professor Debbie Becher, who is Jewish and received the text. “They are clearly targeting what most of the United States, I hope and I think, defines as freedom of speech, but only in the case of anti-Israeli speech.”
EEOC Investigation
In an email to professors on Wednesday after The Intercept first reported on the text, the general counsel at Barnard, a women’s college affiliated with Columbia University, said the EEOC initiated an investigation against Barnard last summer into whether the school had discriminated against Jewish employees.
The EEOC was “legally entitled to obtain the contact information of Barnard’s employees” to send out the option to “voluntarily participate in their investigation,” Barnard vice president and general counsel Serena Longley wrote in the email obtained by The Intercept. Barnard complied with the request.
G oing forward, the school said it would provide advance notice of any future requirements to provide staff information in connection with an investigation or litigation unless they were subject to a court order prohibiting them from doing so. Longley told staff they were not required to participate in the EEOC survey.
In a previous email on Monday evening, the general counsel at Barnard said the school had received multiple reports about the EEOC texts.
“Barnard was not given advance notice of this outreach,” Longley wrote. “If you choose to respond, please know that both federal law and Barnard policy strictly prohibit any form of retaliation.”
N either the EEOC nor Barnard immediately responded to requests for comment.
The text messages are the latest episode stoking tensions on campus at Columbia, a flashpoint in the protests against the war on Gaza and the ensuing crackdown carried out by school administrators and the federal government.
Weaponizing EEOC
The Trump administration has already weaponized the EEOC, once tasked with enforcing laws against discrimination, as part of Donald Trump’s broad-based attacks on national programs to bolster “DEI,” or diversity, equity, and inclusion. These initiatives have been villainized in Trump’s rhetoric and attacked in executive orders that carried severe consequences for their targets.
The EEOC is intended to be an independent agency. It currently lacks a quorum, meaning that it is operating largely at the whims of Trump appointee, Republican Acting Chair Andrea Lucas.
T hose attacks on DEI have leveraged the EEOC to retaliate against corporate law firms that have drawn Trump’s ire. It was reported on Tuesday that a new federal task force at the Department of Veterans Affairs is asking employees to report “anti-Christian bias” to the government.
Professors who received the survey link told The Intercept they’re concerned that the EEOC is now being used to attack faculty on college campuses that have been the site of yearslong protests against Israel’s war on Gaza.
At first, some people thought the text message was spam, said Becher, the Barnard professor.
“The email that we received seems to confirm for us that Barnard thinks it is the EEOC, and not something else,” Becher said.
“The government is weaponizing the EEOC in service of their own hatred and service of their own desire to destroy higher education,” Becher said. “And in their desire to silence speech about — as they have been — their desire to silence any speech that might criticize Israel as part of that larger campaign as well.”
You hopefully know I’ve received the specific attack “only Jews support Israel.” Not from you but from multiple commenters here. And received zero agreement from this forum that this behavior is wrong.

Weren’t the details already shared by the posts themselves or are you claiming they DM’ed you or something else entirely?I disagree that that statement itself is antisemitic though. The actions of Israel as of late are hard to understand, so it’s reasonable to think that maybe tribalism (ie being Jewish) might dictate one’s stance on Israel, or at least make one not look at its actions with any criticality.'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

Wow, gazafreedomflotilla just released more info. For those doubting Israel's actions:
- We now know the specific Israeli plane that launched the drones. We even have its flight path directly over the boat.
- Greta Thunberg was supposed to be on the ship that day (this is public information). Several IOF officials have previously labeled Thunberg a terrorist.
- There are multiple videos of the drone strike.
- And yes, Malta is part of Europe._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

Real peace lover, that Bibi. Like someone else said, “what’s left to bomb?”
Gaza will be entirely destroyed, Israeli minister says
Bezalel Smotrich says Palestinians will ‘leave in great numbers to third countries’, raising fears of ethnic cleansing
An Israeli government minister has vowed that “Gaza will be entirely destroyed” as a result of an Israeli military victory, and that its Palestinian population will “leave in great numbers to third countries”, raising fears of ethnic cleansing in the occupied territory.
The declaration on Tuesday by the finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, came a day after Israel’s security cabinet approved a plan for Operation Gideon’s Chariots, which an Israeli official said would entail “the conquest of the Gaza Strip and the holding of the territories”.
The Israeli threats to seize control of the territory permanently has stirred global outrage.
“We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel’s operations,” the UK’s Middle East minister, Hamish Falconer, said. “Any attempt to annex land in Gaza would be unacceptable.”
After the intensified offensive was announced, Hamas said it was no longer interested in truce talks with Israel and urged the international community to halt Israel’s “hunger war” against Gaza, a reference to the total blockade on aid deliveries to Gaza, which has been in place for more than two months.
“There is no sense in engaging in talks or considering new ceasefire proposals as long as the hunger war and extermination war continue in the Gaza Strip,” Basem Naim, a senior Hamas official, told AFP.

What do you call a “camp” with a “concentration” of a populace?
How Trump’s walkaway diplomacy enabled Israel’s worst impulses
Andrew Rothin WashingtonThe common perception is that Trump has largely moved on, leaving an emboldened Netanyahu to his own devices
More importantly, Trump has given cover to Israeli officials who had sought more aggressive action in Gaza, including forced depopulations. Rightwingers in government have been particularly aggressive, with finance minister Bezalel Smotrich saying that within months Gaza would be “totally destroyed” and the Gazan population would be “concentrated” in a small strip of land. “The rest of the strip will be empty,” he said.
But other ministers have also become more radical using Trump’s rhetoric for cover, said Harel.
“Once Trump said that, you could see how not only the radicals, but also Likud ministers and so on, have an excuse,” said Harel. “‘It’s not us. It’s the world, the free world’s leader is saying that, so we have to play along.’”

Earlier this month, Israel’s security cabinet approved a plan that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as “the concluding moves” of the war in Gaza. Called “Gideon’s Chariots,” the operation’s plan calls for the mass destruction of remaining buildings in Gaza and the “conquest” of much of the Strip by Israel.
The more than 2 million Palestinian civilians would be given a choice: Live indefinitely in a tiny “humanitarian area,” or else leave the Strip for some third country. At least one high-level Israeli official, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, has openly proclaimed that the purpose of this policy is to inflict so much suffering that Palestinians are effectively forced to make the latter choice — a textbook example of ethnic cleansing.
“Within a few months…Gaza will be totally destroyed,” Smotrich said on May 6. Civilians “will be totally despairing, understanding that there is no hope and nothing to look for in Gaza, and will be looking for relocation to begin a new life in other places.”
The situation in Gaza is already beyond dire: An Israeli blockade on foreign aid has left children starving. Were Israel to do what Smotrich is describing, the consequences would be untold death and suffering.

Right because destroying buildings and infrastructure is the same as gassing and burning human beings in ovens.0 -
Its only the buildings and infrastructure?0

Does the method of ethnic cleansing really matter? So now, “never again” is qualified and only means “gassing and burning human beings in ovens.” Got it.Get_Right said:Halifax2TheMax said:
