The #EEOC’s #NEA case is part of an expansion of the #Trump administration’s antisemitism investigations beyond college and K-12 campuses. Last week the U.S. Health and Human Services Department opened its own probe into the #American #Psychological Association, also based on a Brandeis Center complaint.
