Trump lawyer in Harvard battle says DOJ intends to sue UC over antisemitism allegations

(LA Times) A Justice Department official spearheading President Trump's battle against Harvard University — which has led to multiple lawsuits and the school losing billions in federal funding — says the administration intends to take the University of California to court over alleged antisemitism.

Leo Terrell, senior counsel for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, is heading a multiagency task force on combating antisemitism and said in a Tuesday Fox News interview that there will be "massive lawsuits against [the] UC system" and other colleges "on the East Coast, on the West Coast, in the Midwest."

"Expect hate crime charges filed by the federal government. Expect Title VII lawsuits," Terrell added, referring to U.S. civil rights law that protects against employment discrimination based on "race, color, religion, sex or national origin." The task force has singled out UCLA, USC and UC Berkeley in addition to Harvard and six other U.S. campuses for investigations.

but isn't suing on the basis of discrimination a form of DEI? On the one hand it's every man for himself, a sort of libertarian discrimination. Is this the exact opposite?
