At least 60 colleges and universities received warnings from the Department of Education to follow their obligation to protect Jewish students on campus or face repercussions, just days after the Trump administration revoked $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University for what they call a failure to combat antisemitism on campus.
Newly appointed Secretary of Education Linda McMahon sent a letter to 60 schools on Monday, some being the site of contentious pro-Palestinian protests last year, warning them of financial actions should they fail to follow President Donald Trump’s executive order to “combat antisemitism.”
