Record Audit
Source basis and classification review
- Source basis
- 1 linked public source: University statement.
- Classification rationale
- Category "OCR complaint" is retained as a documentation label from linked public source metadata; Campus Evidence Lab does not treat it as an independent legal finding.
- Community rationale
- Affected community labels (Jewish, Arab) reflect public-source metadata and require source-text review before narrower claims.
- Confidence rationale
- High confidence reflects verified from public source with 1 linked public source (University statement); it is not a severity or truth score.
