60 universities may lose millions of dollars under the Trump administration

This week, the Bureau of Civil Rights of the Education Department sent letters to 60 universities throughout the country, conducting them. According to the Department, these letters served as warnings about potential enforcement activities against universities “if they do not fulfill their obligations arising from the VI Act on civic rights in order to protect Jewish students in the campus.”

This happened shortly after the Trump administration dismissed $ 400 million in federal subsidies and contracts at Columbia University in consequence of the alleged lack of address anti-Semitism on the campus during pro-Palestinian protests.

“Universities must follow all federal provisions on anti -discrimination, if they intend to receive federal funds,” said education secretary Linda McMahon in a press release. “For too long, Columbia abandoned his duty to Jewish students studying in his campus.”

Before the decision, President Trump threatened that he would stop “all federal funds for every university, school or university that allow illegal protests.” He also added that “agitators would be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came.”

Although Trump has not yet defined “illegal protests” resulting from the president’s threats at the side of the administration on pro-Palestinian protests, many Americans have concerns about their very own First amendment Rights that guarantee freedom of speech. Especially after the recent arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, consistent with the law of a everlasting resident and student of Colombia, who reportedly called a “radical foreign student of pro-Hamas” by immigration and accurate enforcement (ICE) on March 8.

Although the federal judge blocked Khalil’s deportation attempt, his case may be the first of many in the investigation of the Education Department. From the Ivy to state schools, each large and small schools, which were reportedly covered by the study, include:
