After President Trump's recent executive order addressing campus antisemitism, the Education Department launched investigations into five colleges for reported antisemitic incidents. These investigations focus on Columbia University, Northwestern University, Portland State University, UC Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota, as the Trump administration aims to hold colleges accountable for safeguarding Jewish student rights. Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for civil rights, emphasized that institutional indifference towards Jewish students will not be tolerated. The order enhances scrutiny towards complaints and establishes a stricter intervention approach against antisemitism on campuses.
"Today, the Department is putting universities, colleges, and K-12 schools on notice: this administration will not tolerate continued institutional indifference to the wellbeing of Jewish students on American campuses..."
"The Trump administration has signaled it would take a harder line on colleges that don't, in its view, sufficiently protect Jewish students' civil rights."
