💨 Abstract

Columbia University faces a significant challenge as the Trump administration threatens to revoke its accreditation, potentially impacting federal financial aid for students and the institution's academic standing. The dispute centers around allegations that Columbia has failed to address antisemitism on campus and comply with federal civil rights laws. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which accredits Columbia, is reviewing the situation amid ongoing tensions between the White House and universities over diversity and academic standards.
