Many companies within the Trump presidency are teaming up to bite down on university campus protests and may deny federal funding from schools that don’t agree.
That followed a Monday discharge from the Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, and the General Services Administration that promised to end what they described as racist abuse on university campuses.
The combined discharge singled out Columbia University, an Ivy League school hit with a series of pro-Palestinian demonstrations last year that included the activity of a tower on school, for a review of governmental contracts and provides citing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
The assessment could see the university lose more than$ 51 million in federal money, which it receives despite its reputation as a private college.
” Americans have watched in horror for more than a year then, as Jewish students have been assaulted and harassed on elite college campuses — frequently overrun by anti-Semitic individuals and agitators”, previously confirmed Education Secretary Linda McMahon said. ” Immoral encampments and presentations have completely paralyzed day-to-day school operations, depriving Israeli learners of learning options to which they are entitled”.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.compared hatred to racism and called it a spiritual and moral affliction that sickens cultures and kills individuals.
” In recent years, the repression and false stories of woke cancel traditions have transformed our excellent universities into plants for this dangerous and aggressive pestilence”, Kennedy said. ” Making America healthier means building areas of respect and mutual respect, based on statement freedom and open conversation”.
Trump signed an executive order on Jan. 29 titled” More Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism”, which led to the evaluation.
Trump spends his political capital first in following name
Demonstrations broke out across the United States following the Oct. 7, 2023, criminal attacks in Israel, with some anti-Israel protesters blocking roads and customers and causing other problems.
Medical faces, once a symbol of the COVID-19 crisis, have been banned in some areas as people have used them to suppress their names while committing acts of violence. Trump has then signaled he’d like to see them banned on college schools as well.
