On Sept. 18, The Guardian received confirmation that the UC has given federal investigators from the DOE Office for Civil Rights the personal information of UCSD students, staff, and faculty, without notification to the affected individuals. UCSD and UCOP have yet to indicate whose information was divulged or when it was shared.

All the individuals are connected with the University, but their exact affiliations remain unclear. The Faculty Defense Group told The UCSD Guardian in early September that all the individuals had some relation to “complaints of harassment and discrimination.” No other details can be identified at this time.

A December 2024 agreement between the UC and DOE’s OCR preceded this name sharing. The agreement solidified the UC’s compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the wake of complaints and allegations of discrimination across UC campuses, including UCLA, UCSD, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Davis dating back to 2024. These complaints refer to any filed within the UC “based on actual or perceived national origin, including shared Jewish, Israeli, Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim ancestry.”

This agreement compels the UC to provide a list of “all complaints and reports alleging discrimination, including harassment and disparate treatment” that date back to the preceding academic year. This list must include the following information: the name and status of the individual who filed the complaint, the individual who was discriminated against, the individual who engaged in the harassment, and the nature of the alleged discrimination. The OCR listed Sept. 30, 2025, as the deadline for the UC to deliver this list on behalf of all UC campuses.

On Sept. 16, the UCSD Faculty Association, a voluntary organization comprised of UCSD Academic Senate members, penned a letter addressed to the Office of the Chancellor to request a response to this situation. 

No UCSD administration have responded to The Guardian’s requests for comment.

The Trump administration will soon target the University of California as part of its broader federal push to address antisemitism on college campuses, according to Leo Terrell, senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Department of Justice.

On Tuesday, May 27, Terrell, who leads the DOJ’s antisemitism task force, said on Fox News’ The Faulkner Focus that the Trump administration is preparing legal action against the UC system and other universities across the country.

This follows the March 10 U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights’ letter to over 60 universities warning of violations of Title VI, which prohibits discrimination in federally funded programs, including public education.
