💨 Abstract

The Trump administration has intensified its conflict with Columbia University, alleging that the institution fails to meet accreditation standards due to its handling of anti-Semitic incidents on campus following a 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education about Columbia's alleged violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Columbia maintains it is addressing these concerns and is committed to combating anti-Semitism.
