President Trump has initiated a crackdown on alleged antisemitism in higher education via the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. In its early months, the task force has withdrawn millions in federal funding from Columbia University and is investigating several other institutions, including UCLA and Harvard. The initiative underscores a commitment to ensuring responsible allocation of federal funds and addressing anti-Semitic harassment in educational environments. Attorney General Pam Bondi leads the group, which convened following Trump's executive order addressing antisemitism in universities.
The Task Force remains committed to awarding federal funds responsibly and holding institutions accountable for taking decisive action against anti-Semitic harassment.
The panel will continue its efforts to root out anti-Semitism and to refocus our institutions of higher learning on the core values that undergird a liberal education.
