WASHINGTON (VINnews) – The U.S. Department of Education, under President Donald Trump’s administration, has opened bombshell investigations into five universities across the country for their alleged failure to combat on-campus antisemitism.

The institutions under investigation include:

  • Columbia University
  • Northwestern University
  • University of California, Berkeley
  • Portland State University
  • University of Minnesota

This move signals a strong stance by the administration in holding universities accountable for addressing antisemitic incidents and ensuring safe environments for Jewish students.

Today, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) issued the following statement after the Department of Education announced investigations into antisemitism on college campuses:

“For the past two years, our committee has uncovered an appalling amount of antisemitism taking place on college campuses. We’ve also heard heartbreaking testimony from Jewish college students who were excited to attend their dream university only to face threats and harassment from their own classmates and teachers. I’m glad that we finally have an administration who is taking action to protect Jewish students and hold schools like Columbia, Northwestern, and UC Berkeley accountable for their failures.”

Promises made; Promises kept. Thank you Pres. Trump. There are many more colleges and universities that must be investigated for rampant antisemitism, but this is a good start.

We need to institute new rules for foreign students and workers. Only the citizens of allied nations should be admitted for study or skilled work. No more from hostile nations. Cancel their visas and send them packing.
