So, what, Columbia threw all the Jews out?
(CNBC) Education Department says Columbia University fails to meet accreditation standards

I'm not eager to add a third thread in one day, into the busy Breaking News Forum. But, I felt this news item was too important to pass over.
It appears the Trump Administration has found Columbia University does not meet accreditation standards, and has informed the relevant accreditation agency (Middle States Commission on Higher Education) of the violation.
This is huge. Accreditation is required to receive Pell Grants & Student Loans, and even determines whether degrees and transfer credits will be accepted by other academic institutions, professional societies, and in Industry.
I'm blown-away that the future of an academic institution is at the hands a government administrative determination.
But these students cannot censor the thoughts and speech of others that are different than them, nor others expressing it to them in public spaces.
No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
From the article -
"The department’s Office for Civil Rights in early February began investigating Columbia for possible discrimination or enabling harassment of Jewish students and faculty in violation of Title VI, the section of the Civil Rights Act that bars recipients of federal funding from discriminating on the basis of race, color or national origin."
Can you believe the incredible f'ing irony of Trump attacking anything on the basis that they were discriminating on the basis of race, color, or national origin????
Not where I went.There's a difference between the "cool kids" and the popular kids. That you don't seem to know the difference explains a lot.
Columbia certainly isn't protecting Jewish students.(CNBC) Education Department says Columbia University fails to meet accreditation standards

You're comparing Columbia University to ITT Tech.
LOL
Is this the same Harvard who sent their plagiarist President to Congress to testify that whether or not calling for the genocide of Jews violates their code of conduct depends on the context? That Harvard?Was this not clear when they started burning Harvard witches at the stake?
This administration is declaring war on knowledge, education, and truth, and I'm sorry, there is no democracy without the free flow of information between people, which is what they're really trying to undermine.
Authoritarian regimes attack education and freedoms of speech and the press because they want to become the source of truth.
See post #110How is Columbia doing that?

That was literally her testimony.I think you're misrepresenting facts.
Hysterical post comparing Columbia with ITT Tech
Do you expect to be taken seriously when you post shit like that?
Explain through the accreditation requirements exactly what constitutes “ failure to protect Jewish students from hate and harassment.Columbia U. is not being singled out. They cannot claim victimhood in this matter.
Columbia is being held to the same standards as every other institution of higher learning. If a university fails to meet accreditation standards due to their own fault by ignoring violations of federal antidiscrimination laws, specifically Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 due to their failure to protest Jewish students from hate and harassment, then they deserve their comeuppance.
These freeze peach warriors are following Richard Spencer’s playbook quite well.Bingo.
How are they missing that?
Over the last couple of years. I didn't write down the dates and times, but google can probably take you to a list of them.When did it do this?
I am proud to say that I was at least tangentially involved in her losing at least one of her Senate campaigns.
What are they going to fight? The University messed up. Their own task force came to the conclusion that the university had a problem, and they failed to respond to concerns. The president of the university resigned over it. The office of Civil Rights at DHHS concluded they violated the student's civil rights back in May - bringing up many of the same points that the internal task force noted.
You supported them coming for the Jews. Don’t complain if they come for you.
That's one of the more ridiculous arguments posted on this board.They did mess up. But not in the way you think.
It'll be a generation before Columbia's reputation recovers for their attempts at appeasement. They should have known better.
That was literally her testimony.
Explain how admitting their mistakes and working to correct them is "appeasement"
I mean... as long as institutions take federal money, the federal government will have the power to take it away.
1. It is good that Columbia face serious consequences in the face of it's behavior. If it had been black students or Muslim students being treated this way, this would have happened long ago (actually it never would have really started, as Administrators would have landed on that with strict consequences immediately).
2. However, it does indeed set a precedent for this kind of power to be used by the next Democrat Administration. Expect schools who don't allow males to play in female sports (or something similar) to face similar accreditation threats in the future.
