if you think any school is going to not do the "politically safe" thing for themselves, then i don't know what to tell you

It was once the "politically safe" thing to give up jewish people to the nazi authorities.

Did you notice institutions largely went along with that?

From Wikipedia

According to a German professor of the history of mathematics, "There is no doubt that most of the German mathematicians who were members of the professional organization collaborated with the Nazis, and did nothing to save or help their Jewish colleagues."[72]

So yes, institutions did the "politically safe" thing and discriminated against jewish people.
