The Trump administration announced that it has informed Columbia University’s accreditor that the university has violated Title IV, raising concerns about its accreditation status. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found that Columbia exhibited “deliberate indifference” towards the harassment faced by Jewish students, violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This determination pertains to the period following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, beginning October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel. The notification implies that Columbia University “no longer appears to meet the Commission’s accreditation standards.” The situation is ongoing and further developments are expected.
