About 60 colleges and universities are now confronted with “measures responsible for the law” on campus anti -Semitism allegations, the American department of education warned only a few days after having drawn $ 400 million from subsidies from the University of Columbia for alleged civil rights offenses.
On Monday, the office of the civil rights agency sent letters to 60 institutions under the title VI investigation for harassment and anti -Semitic discrimination.
“The department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students who study on American elite campuses continue to fear for their security in the midst of implacable anti -Semitic eruptions which seriously disrupted the life of the campus for more than a year,” said the Secretary of Education Linda McMahon in an ad. “American colleges and universities benefit from huge public investments funded by American taxpayers. This support is a privilege and it depends on scrupulous membership of the anti -discriminatory federal laws. »»

In February, the Civil Rights Office of the Department of Education launched investigations into title IV on Columbia and four other schools: Northwestern University, Portland State University, University of California, Berkeley and the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. The 55 additional schools added to the above list “are the subject of a survey or monitoring in response to complaints,” noted the Ministry of Education.
Friday, the Trump administration canceled around $ 400 million in federal funds with Columbia University following its investigation into the way in which the school managed the anti-Semitism of the campus launched by demonstrations that broke out after the War of Israel-Hamas. The canceled contracts and subsidies cover various federal agencies, including the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Health and Social Services, the Ministry of Education and the US General Services Administration.
Columbia University currently has more than $ 5 billion in federal commitments. More funding may cancel, said Leo Terrell, head of the DoJ working group to fight anti -Semitism.
