Trump targets New England schools over antisemitism enforcement

The U.S. Department of Education has warned 60 colleges and universities, including nine in New England, of potential enforcement actions if they do not protect Jewish students from antisemitism. This follows protests against Israel's actions in Gaza. The targeted institutions include Harvard, Yale, and Boston University. The department's letters emphasize the need for compliance with federal antidiscrimination laws to ensure Jewish students have safe access to campus facilities and educational opportunities. The warnings come amid ongoing investigations into Title VI violations related to antisemitic harassment. The department previously revoked $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University for failing to address harassment of Jewish students.
