Trump investigates 60 colleges for antisemitism allegations

The Trump administration is investigating 60 colleges for alleged antisemitism, following the cancellation of $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University. The Education Department claims these schools failed to protect Jewish students from harassment. The investigations focus on potential violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, and nationality. The Education Department warned that schools could face enforcement actions if found in violation. Previously, five schools were already under investigation, including Columbia and the University of California, Berkeley. The scrutiny follows criticism of how universities handled pro-Palestinian protests last year, which some argue contributed to antisemitism on campuses.
