BERKELEY — Concerned that the rights of students and faculty have been violated, a national Muslim civil liberties organization has requested UC Berkeley turn over any information it has on its cooperation with a Trump administration investigation into antisemitism on campus.

A California Public Records Act request was filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ San Francisco Bay Area office on Nov. 21 in response to the university’s sharing of 160 students, staff and faculty names as part of the federal probe.

“UC Berkeley’s decision to hand personal information about its own community members to the federal government is a grave breach of trust, particularly in this political climate,” said Jeffrey Wang, the nonprofit’s civil rights managing attorney in a statement.
