  The administration of President Donald Trump said on Monday it will review Columbia University's federal contracts and grants over allegations of antisemitism, which it says the educational institution has shown inaction in tackling.

The U.S. Department of Education is reviewing Columbia University's federal contracts and grants due to allegations of antisemitism on campus. This action follows a complaint by the Anti-Defamation League and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, which accused Columbia of failing to address antisemitic harassment and discrimination adequately. The review, announced on March 4, 2025, is part of a broader initiative by the Education Department to ensure universities comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin, including shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics. The investigation focuses on whether Columbia has taken sufficient steps to address the reported incidents, which include physical assaults, harassment, and vandalism. This scrutiny comes amidst heightened tensions and numerous complaints regarding antisemitism at universities across the U.S. following the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas on Israel.
