Trump Administration Warns 60 Universities Over Antisemitism Investigations

Federal funding is at risk for institutions failing to protect Jewish students under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

The Department of Education sent letters to 60 universities warning of enforcement actions if they fail to address antisemitic harassment and discrimination on campus.
Institutions under investigation include Ivy League schools, major public universities, and other prominent colleges across the United States.
Last week, the administration revoked $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University, citing inadequate action to protect Jewish students.
The investigations are tied to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin, including shared Jewish ancestry.
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon emphasized that federal funding is contingent on adherence to anti-discrimination laws and called for universities to ensure the safety and inclusion of Jewish students.
