According to Campus Reform, “The U.S. Department of Education has launched a sweeping review of the University of California, Berkeley.”
This investigation is in regard to whether the school failed to meet federal campus‑safety requirements during a now well-known riot that erupted at a Nov. 10 Turning Point USA event.
This investigation was announced on November 25th by “the Department’s Office of Federal Student Aid”.
This will examine whether UC Berkeley violated the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act.
The Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act is a “federal law requiring colleges that receive student‑aid funding to maintain accurate crime statistics, issue timely alerts, and uphold campus safety standards.”
Many would likely conclude that the events that transpired at UC Berkeley fell far short of those standards.
This decision comes weeks after the tragic murder of TPUSA’s founder, Charlie Kirk, on a different college campus.
Federal officials stated that the UC Berkeley events exceeded peaceful protest and raised concerns about whether the school was adequately prepared to protect attendees.
“In 2020, the university paid a $2.4 million federal fine for misclassifying more than a thousand crimes and maintaining incomplete public crime logs.”
Part of this review requires Berkeley to provide extensive documentation within 30 days.
This documentation process includes the 2025 Annual Security Report as well as other crime data and agreements with local law enforcement.
The university is required to turn over maps as well as its internal post-event assessment.
“The Clery Act gives the Education Department authority to fine institutions or mandate policy changes when violations are found.”
The investigators are examining whether the security problems at Berkeley are systemic, not isolated problems. Indeed, Berkeley is sadly not safe for conservative and patriotic students and events.
