A year-long investigation by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights into what it characterizes as rising antisemitism at American colleges may look at Denver’s Auraria campus, site of a nearly month-long encampment by pro-Palestinian demonstrators last year.

The commission’s Colorado Advisory Committee is hosting two public meetings online next month “to plan virtual briefings on the topic of examining campus antisemitism at three Colorado universities,” according to a notice in the Federal Register.

Ana Victoria Fortes, a civil rights analyst with the commission, said in an email Friday that the advisory committee will vote at the first of those meetings, on May 8, on a draft project proposal to include the Auraria campus, home to the Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver and University of Colorado Denver.

Fortes said the proposal is subject to change following the discussion at the meeting.

Devra Ashby, a spokesperson for the Auraria Higher Education Center, said the campus had not been made aware of the upcoming meetings.

“That said, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive and respectful environment for all members of our campus community,” Ashby wrote in an email. “Antisemitism, and any form of hate or discrimination, have no place on our campus.”

The Colorado Advisory Committee’s meetings will be held via Zoom at 2 p.m. May 8 and 3 p.m. May 21. Public comment will be allowed. The May meetings are precursors to “virtual briefings” scheduled for July and August.

Members of the public can also submit written comments, but the comments must be received in the regional office within 30 days following the scheduled meetings, according to the notice. People can email written comments to Evelyn Bohor at ebohor@usccr.gov and include “Colorado Committee” in the subject line.
