UC Berkeley Shares Student Data Amid Federal Probe

UC Berkeley has shared information about 160 students and staff with the U.S. government.

This is part of an investigation into whether the university handled complaints of antisemitism properly.

The government is looking into universities, possibly threatening funding cuts over pro-Palestinian protests.

Some groups say this equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism.

There are concerns about free speech and academic freedom.

The government has settled investigations with other universities and faced legal challenges.

The university says it's protecting privacy while fulfilling its legal obligations.

Investigations into other UC campuses have also taken place.
