By Ronny Reyes
Columbia University should be stripped of its accreditation over its “deliberate indifference” to the harassment of Jewish students on campus, the US Department of Education said Wednesday.
In a letter to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, an accrediting institution that Columbia belongs to, the DOE’s Office of Civil Rights accused the Ivy League school of allowing antisemitism to run rampant at its Morningside campus.
