The Trump administration has officially informed Columbia University's accreditor that the institution may be at risk of losing accreditation for non-compliance with Title IV. This decision follows findings by the U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services, which determined that Columbia exhibited deliberate indifference towards the reported harassment of Jewish students. The violations reportedly began after the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East on October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, leading to heightened tensions on campus.
The Trump administration's notification to Columbia's accreditor highlights serious concerns regarding the university's compliance with Title IV, calling into question its accreditation status.
The OCR and HHS OCR found Columbia University deliberately indifferent to the harassment faced by Jewish students, constituting a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
