Two universities in Florida are among the 60 schools the Trump administration is investigating for antisemitism.
Linda McMahon, the new secretary of education, released the list on Monday that includes the University of Tampa and the University of South Florida.
McMahon said in a statement that “relentless antisemitic eruptions” have caused Jewish students to “fear for their safety.”
“U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege,” McMahon said.
According to the department, the investigations are in response to complaints about alleged violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination.
Last week, the Trump administration announced “the immediate cancelation” of $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University.
