Federal Education Department Investigates 60 Universities Over Antisemitism Allegations

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) has launched investigations into 60 universities over concerns of antisemitism, according to letters sent on Monday. These institutions are being scrutinized for allegedly failing to meet Title IX obligations to protect Jewish students from discrimination and harassment.  

 

“The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite U.S. campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” said Education Secretary Linda McMahon.  

 

She emphasized that federal funding for colleges and universities comes with responsibilities, stating, “U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal antidiscrimination laws.”  

 

The universities under investigation range from Ivy League institutions like Harvard University to smaller schools such as Middlebury College. The warnings follow the federal government’s recent decision to withdraw $400 million in funding from Columbia University over alleged failures in addressing antisemitism complaints.  

 

OCR has also committed to prioritizing antisemitism cases, moving to address a backlog of complaints at various institutions. The crackdown comes just days after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Columbia University graduate student with a green card who was involved in pro-Palestinian protests.  

 

The intensified federal scrutiny is already impacting universities. Harvard University announced on Monday that it was implementing a hiring freeze due to uncertainties surrounding federal policies and funding. Meanwhile, the University of California, Los Angeles, has launched a new initiative aimed at combating antisemitism on campus.  

 

As investigations proceed, the federal government continues to emphasize the importance of enforcing Title IX protections, signaling potential consequences for institutions that fail to adequately address antisemitism within their campuses.

Meanwhile, today Trump said Chuck Shumer is "now a Palestinian, not Jewish anymore.." which includes the implied insult that being a Palestinian is a bad thing to be... Trump is the guy that remarked he didn't want black guys counting his money, he wanted "short guys with yarmulkes"... Trump doesn't care if someone is antisemitic.... he is using this to go after higher education which he sees as chock full of liberals

Trump cares about jews more than most jews care about themselves. Its baffling

"During his campaign, Trump vowed to end “wokeness” and “leftist indoctrination” in education. He pledged to dismantle diversity programs that he says amount to discrimination, and to impose fines on colleges "up to the entire amount of their endowment.”"https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/florida/articles/2025-01-09/trump-wants-to-change-colleges-nationwide-gop-led-states-offer-a-preview

goes beyond mere liberalism: any race other than white; any gender other than male, any orientation other than straight. Witness the dumb moves to remove photos from Armed forces archives of atomic bomb dropping B29 because was named "Enola Gay" after pilots mother. You don't get much more stupid than that without working at it 24/7.

"Too many Universities and School Systems are about Radical Left Indoctrination, not Education," Trump said. "Therefore, I am telling the Treasury Department to re-examine their Tax-Exempt Status and/or Funding, which will be taken away if this Propaganda or Act Against Public Policy continues. Our children must be Educated, not Indoctrinated!" https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/07/10/trump-accuses-colleges-radical-left-indoctrination-threatens-tax-exemption/5415908002/

Does this bust thru your wall of voluntary ignorance? Happy now?

I am confused... How does this apply to your initial hate Trump message? 

What this link shows is a good thing. How can anyone argue about our kids needing to be educated. Not indoctrinated
