In a groundbreaking move, the federal administration has launched a sweeping review of over $5 billion in grants awarded to Columbia University amid serious allegations of failing to address rampant antisemitism on campus. This comes after months of escalating pro-Palestinian protests that have fueled hate speech and hostility toward Jewish students.
The U.S. Education Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the General Services Administration are spearheading this federal investigation, making it clear that no university will be allowed to ignore antisemitic harassment while continuing to collect massive taxpayer funds.
Columbia and Barnard Under Fire!
This federal review sends a powerful warning: Universities that refuse to protect Jewish students will face serious consequences!
For too long, elite institutions have allowed, and in some cases encouraged, an environment where Jewish students are targeted and silenced. Now, the government is stepping in to demand accountability.
At Barnard College, an affiliate of Columbia, officials are scrambling to identify and punish student agitators who stormed Milbank Hall in a recent takeover calling for divestment from Israel. Barnard President Laura Rosenbury has suggested the school may take severe disciplinary action against the students involved. Meanwhile, the Transport Workers Union has publicly condemned Columbia’s administration for failing to ensure safety on campus, raising further questions about the university’s governance.
A New Era of Accountability
This federal crackdown could mark a turning point in the battle against antisemitism in higher education. With billions of dollars on the line, universities can no longer afford to be complacent while radical activists spread hate and disrupt campus life.
The message is clear: Protect Jewish students and uphold campus policies—or lose federal funding.
