Washington, D.C. - Mar. 10, 2025 - The US Department of Education announced that 60 institutions of higher learning have been warned that they could lose federal funding over their handling of antisemitic incidents on campus after Columbia University lost $400 million in federal grants last week.
The letters are addressed to all US universities that are presently under investigation for Title VI violations relating to antisemitic harassment and discrimination. In addition to Columbia, fellow Ivy League institutions Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Brown, and Cornell received warnings.
“The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite US campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “US colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal anti-discrimination laws.”
