The Trump administration accused Columbia University of violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 due to failing to protect Jewish students from harassment since the Israel-Hamas war began. The investigation noted that there was a hostile environment for Jewish students for over 19 months, with incidents of antisemitism, including vandalism in classrooms. The findings criticized Columbia for lack of effective reporting mechanisms for such incidents. The university claims a commitment to combatting antisemitism and plans to work with federal agencies following the investigation's findings.
Columbia University violated civil rights law by acting with deliberate indifference towards student-on-student harassment of Jewish students since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, the Trump administration alleged.
The findings carefully document the hostile environment Jewish students at Columbia University have had to endure for over 19 months, disrupting their education, safety, and well-being.
Columbia is accused of failing to protect Jewish students against discrimination based on race, color, or national origin...violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
We encourage Columbia University to work with us to come to an agreement that reflects meaningful changes that will truly protect Jewish students.
