The Trump administration said Wednesday that it has notified the accreditor for Columbia University that the school violated Title IV, threatening the university’s accreditation status by saying it “no longer appears to meet the Commissions accreditation standards.”
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (HHS OCR) “determined that Columbia University acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students, thereby violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” according to press release from the Education Department.
The release says the school has been in violation since the war in the Middle East began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas invaded Israel.
