Researcher’s Note: The Dems strong hold is in our schools. When you pay your child’s tuition you feed their network. They are upset now because Trump is killing their cash cow. I encourage every parent to watch the Norman Dodd interview to see when our schools were hijacked by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace over 100 years ago. Ed Griffin had the insight to get this interview with Norman Dodd as he was in poor health at the time of this interview and passed away shortly after.
Department of Education Investigating Anti-Semitism at 5 Colleges, Including Columbia (Connecting the Dots: Our Universities, The U.S. Department of Education & Soros Funding)
The
Department of Education announced the investigations on Feb. 3.

Epoch Times

Updated: 2/5/2025
The
U.S. Department of Education said in a Feb. 3 statement that it
is investigating allegations of anti-Semitism at five colleges, including Columbia
University and
the University of California, Berkeley.
The
department’s Office for Civil Rights is launching the investigations in
response to what it described as an explosion of anti-Semitism on American
university campuses following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led terrorist
attack against Israel.
Officials
are probing Northwestern University, Portland State University, and the University
of Minnesota Twin Cities, in addition to Columbia and Berkeley.
“Too
many universities have tolerated widespread antisemitic harassment and the
illegal encampments that paralyzed campus life last year, driving Jewish life
and religious expression underground,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant
secretary for civil rights, said
in a statement.
“Today,
the Department is putting universities, colleges, and
K-12 schools on notice: this administration will not tolerate continued
institutional indifference to the wellbeing of Jewish students on American
campuses, nor will it stand by idly if universities fail to combat Jew hatred
and the unlawful harassment and violence it animates.”
A
U.S. House of Representatives committee concluded
in a 2024 report that administrators at universities made concessions to
organizers of illegal encampments, which were often full of people protesting
against Israel, and withheld support from Jewish students.
At
some schools, such as Columbia, faculty members “worked to prevent disciplinary
action from being taken against students who violated official policies and
even the law,” the panel found.
Minouche
Shafik, who was Columbia’s president at the time, stepped
down in 2024.
Columbia’s
interim president and her team have taken action since then to address
anti-Semitism, including strengthening the school’s disciplinary process,
Columbia said
in a statement on Monday
Columbia
said that school officials are reviewing communication it received from the
Department of Education.
“Columbia
strongly condemns antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, and we are
resolute that calling for, promoting, or glorifying violence or terror has no
place at our University,” the school said, adding that it looks forward to
working with the Trump administration “to combat antisemitism and ensure the
safety and wellbeing of our students, faculty, and staff.”
A
Northwestern spokesperson told The Epoch Times that the school plans to comply
with the investigation.
“There
is no place for antisemitism or any form of identity-based discrimination or
hate at Northwestern University. Free expression and academic freedom are among
our core values, but we have made clear that these values provide no excuse for
behavior that threatens the well-being of others,” the spokesperson said. “We
are confident in the actions we have taken to address antisemitism on our
campus, including updating our Student Code of Conduct, our disciplinary
procedures and making investments in public safety. We continue to work
tirelessly to make our university a safe and non-discriminatory educational
institution.”
A
University of Minnesota spokesperson said that it has received a notice from
the department and will be reviewing the details.
“We
are confident in our approach to combating hate and bias on our campus and will
fully cooperate with this investigation,” the spokesperson said. “The
University continues to stand firmly against antisemitism. We have and will
continue to respond promptly and fully to any reports of harassment,
intimidation, or bias against Jewish students—or any other members of our
University community—in accordance with our University values, our own
policies, and our responsibility under the law.”
A
spokesperson for Portland State told The Epoch Times in an email that it will
cooperate with the Department of Education.
“The
university continues to support and engage with efforts to combat antisemitism
and mitigate the impact of hate and bias. Our commitment is steadfast and
unwavering as we continue to create avenues for dialogue, support, and
understanding,” the spokesperson said.
The
University of California–Berkeley is going to comply with the investigation, a
spokesperson for the university told The Epoch Times in an email. The school
has worked in recent years to confront antisemitism, the spokesperson said.
Federal
officials announced the probes the same day the U.S. Department of Justice said
it was forming a task force to “root out anti-Semitic harassment in schools and
on college campuses.”
Representatives
from the Department of Education and other agencies are on the task force.
Both
the probes and the task force were established under President Donald Trump’s
Jan. 29 executive
order that calls for administration officials to take new steps to
combat anti-Semitism.
