Adela Cojab Moadeb (born November 12, 1996) is a Mexican-born American activist, author, podcaster, and law student.
[1] Most notably, she is known for her formal complaint against New York University under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for allowing antisemitic activities on campus.
[17][13] In response to NYU giving an award to the university chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine,[22] Cojab filed a Title VI complaint with the Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, calling for a full-fledged investigation into antisemitic activity on campus.
[23][24] The university reached a settlement with the Office of Civil Rights, with NYU revising its discrimination and harassment policies to include antisemitism.
[27][28][29] In response to the events at NYU and other college campuses, President Trump would go on to sign an executive order expanding the definition of antisemitism to include "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination," making such actions a Title VI violation.
[35] Cojab wrote the chapter "Confronting Terror: The Buenos Aires Bombings" in the World Jewish Congress's 80th anniversary book, which was published in 2017.
