University told my nephew not to bring discrimination complaints to them

Long story short my nephew is Jewish and has been facing antisemitism on his university campus (students refusing to work with him because he is Jewish, professor telling him and other students Jews weren’t not white unless they wear religious clothing, another professor referring to Zionism as the “Z” word, a student asking him if he was Jewish and yelling “fuck Israel, free Palestine” in his face when he answered yes) to the point he’s feeling disproportionately ostracized from the university and is afraid to openly identify himself as Jewish for fear of harassment from professors and students.

My nephew took these incidents to the university administration and was told that the university is not responsible for systemic environmental hostility on campus like antisemitism and he should take up issues of systemic antisemitism at the university with a local rabbi not the university administration.

Is this just passing the buck? Isn’t he entitled to title VI protections as a Jewish student under Executive order 13899? Any advice on what to do next? He’s been trying for months for the university to address this and they refuse to engage him despite multiple attempts to seek their help.

Private US university receiving federal funding.
