Here's the terrible new way Trump plans to illegally harass universities [View all]
It’s been a minute since the Trump administration threatened Columbia University by pretending it cares deeply about antisemitism. So just in case the school started to believe its past concessions protect it from future attacks, the Department of Education launched a new salvo on Wednesday.
The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights announced that it notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the accreditor for Columbia, that the school is in violation of federal anti-discrimination laws.
Therefore, according to the office—which used to actually investigate real civil rights issues before becoming a vehicle for President Donald Trump’s culture war efforts—Columbia no longer meets the standards for accreditation because it violated the law based on its treatment of Jewish students.
The threat comes after it was determined on May 22 that Columbia “acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students, thereby violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”
