Zoom in: Newly confirmed Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement that since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, “Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-Semitic harassment on their campuses— only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them.”

She said universities must comply with all federal anti-discrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding. “For too long, Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus,” McMahon added. “Today, we demonstrate to Columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer.”
