This FREE online session is designed to help students clearly understand their rights under federal civil rights law and what colleges and universities must do to ensure a safe, non-discriminatory learning environment.

Led by Sara Colb, ADL’s Director of Advocacy, this training will walk through:

• What kinds of conduct qualify as prohibited discrimination, including different treatment, harassment, and retaliation.
• Which students are protected under Title VI, including those targeted for their Jewish and Israeli identities.
• How a hostile environment is legally defined and the signs students should look for.
• What schools are required to do once they know about a hostile environment, including when incidents involve protected speech.
• Real examples of compliance challenges and how they were addressed.

A live Q&A will follow, giving students the opportunity to ask questions about their rights, reporting pathways, and what effective institutional responses should look like.

Join us for a night that shines a little brighter. Celebrate Chanukah with Jewish grad students, alumni, and young professionals from across LA — and make a real difference while you’re at it.

Enjoy your first drink on JGO, light the Chanukah candles together, and take a moment to do good by joining the bone marrow registry or learning more about local Jewish organizations.

Light up the night. Change a life.
