DOE Says 60 Universities Under Investigation For 'Anti-Semitic Discrimination, Here's The Complete List

The Department of Education under President Trump has launched investigations into 60 U.S. universities accused of failing to protect Jewish students from anti-Semitic harassment and discrimination.

Schools that fail to comply with federal anti-discrimination laws could face severe penalties, including loss of federal funding.

Key Facts:

The Department of Education is investigating 60 universities for alleged anti-Semitic discrimination.
Schools were warned they must adhere to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to ensure Jewish students’ safety.
Institutions under investigation include Ivy League schools like Harvard and Yale, along with large public universities such as the University of Michigan and the University of Virginia.
Columbia University has already lost $400 million in federal grants over alleged failure to act on campus anti-Semitism.
The administration labeled the investigations as an “immediate priority” amid growing reports of harassment following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.

The Rest of The Story:

The Trump administration has made it clear that universities failing to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence will face consequences.

The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued formal notices to 60 institutions, warning them of potential legal and financial repercussions if they do not uphold federal anti-discrimination laws.

The schools under investigation span all regions of the country, including elite private universities and major public institutions.

Many of the complaints stem from anti-Israel protests that erupted following Hamas’s October 2023 attacks on Israel.

Columbia University has already suffered a financial penalty, losing $400 million in federal support for its failure to curb campus hostility toward Jewish students.

With over 140 complaints of anti-Semitic violence and harassment filed with the Biden administration, the Trump administration’s Department of Education is taking direct action to address the issue.

Commentary:

Universities across the country have allowed radical activists to create hostile environments for Jewish students under the guise of political activism.

The Trump administration is taking a necessary stand by holding these institutions accountable.

Federal funding is a privilege, not a right, and universities that allow anti-Semitic harassment to fester should face the full weight of the law.

The Democrats, who claim to be champions of civil rights, have done little to protect Jewish students from this rising wave of hostility.

Instead, many leftist politicians and university leaders have turned a blind eye or even excused the behavior.

Jewish Americans should take note—when push comes to shove, it’s the Trump administration that is standing up for them, not the Democratic Party.

The loss of federal funding for Columbia University is a wake-up call.

Other schools should take heed: if they continue to enable anti-Semitic harassment, they should expect similar financial and legal repercussions.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act is clear—universities receiving taxpayer dollars must ensure equal protection for all students.

Jewish Americans have long been a reliable voting bloc for Democrats, but it’s time to reconsider.

If the left cannot even guarantee basic safety for Jewish students on college campuses, why continue supporting them?

The Trump administration has drawn a clear line—any institution that facilitates anti-Semitism will face serious consequences.

The Bottom Line:

The Trump administration is making good on its promise to hold universities accountable for failing to protect Jewish students.

With 60 schools under investigation and Columbia already losing $400 million, the message is clear: schools that tolerate anti-Semitic harassment will pay the price.

Jewish Americans should ask themselves—who really has their back?

The answer is becoming increasingly obvious.
