CBS News reports:Federal judge dismisses lawsuit by ex-U of M DEI official fired after antisemitism disputeA federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed by a former University of Michigan diversity official who claimed she was unfairly fired after a disagreement about antisemitism on campus.
U.S. District Judge Shalina D. Kumar dismissed the case brought by Rachel Dawson, according to a judgment entered July 28, 2026, in federal court in the Eastern District of Michigan.
The conversation grew tense, her lawsuit says, when the women pushed her on her views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The two women later reported Dawson to the Anti-Defamation League, claiming she had made antisemitic comments — allegations Dawson denied.
