The University of Minnesota is among five colleges under investigation by Donald Trump’s Department of Education over allegations of antisemitism, according to the Education Department’s Monday press release.

The University and the four other colleges — Northwestern University, Columbia University, Portland State University and University of California, Berkeley — are facing Title IX investigations from the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights. The investigations stem from allegations that these colleges have tolerated antisemitism on their campuses since Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. 

“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,” Craig Trainor, the agency’s acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said in the statement.

The order also calls for an investigation into all antisemitism complaints, both pending and resolved, since Oct. 7, 2023. 

The office has not released why they decided on these five colleges. 

The University of Minnesota has seen several pro-Palestine Protests since Oct. 2023. These protests include one where several members of UMN Students for a Democratic Society were arrested after they barricaded themselves inside Morrill Hall.

This is not the first time Trump has taken aim at antisemitism on college campuses. On Wednesday, Trump promised to prosecute antisemitic students and revoke the visas of international students who were “Hamas sympathizers.”

Trump’s Department of Education has already made substantial changes to higher education in his first few weeks in office. Among the notable changes was ordering public institutions like the University of Minnesota to roll back their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs.

The University has yet to release a statement in response to the investigation.
