UC Berkeley settled an antisemitism lawsuit, agreeing to pay $1 million in legal fees and to implement mandatory antisemitism and anti-discrimination training for students, faculty and staff, and to create a Title VI officer to oversee future antisemitism investigations.
Considering that the supposed antisemitic incidents on campus involved anti-genocide and pro-Palestine protests, and that the university is using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, it seems highly likely that the new "antisemitism and anti-discrimination" training they're going to impose on students and staff will serve to punish and silence voices that criticize Israel and support Palestine.

Under the settlement signed today, UC Berkeley has agreed to implement numerous policy changes, training requirements and oversight measures in order to respond to discrimination against Jewish and Israeli students.
