Education Department warns 60 colleges over antisemitism

The Department of Education has warned at least 60 colleges and universities about potential financial repercussions for not protecting Jewish students. This follows the Trump administration's decision to revoke $400 million in funding from Columbia University for failing to address antisemitism. Newly appointed Secretary of Education Linda McMahon emphasized that federal support for schools is contingent on adherence to anti-discrimination laws. Six Ivy League schools, including Columbia, received warnings, while the University of Pennsylvania was not mentioned. The warnings come after pro-Palestinian protests on campuses raised concerns about antisemitic behavior. The Trump administration has intensified efforts to hold universities accountable for antisemitism, launching investigations into several institutions.
