The United States Department of Education (DOE) determined that Columbia University has violated a federal civil rights law, the DOE said Wednesday in a press release.
The notification comes after the DOE opened an investigation into the University in February.
“The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today notified Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Columbia University, is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore fails to meet the standards for accreditation set by the Commission,” the release said.
Why It Matters
Colleges without federal accreditation lose access to federal student aid, preventing millions of prospective and current students from getting the financial help they may need in order to be able to afford attendance.
Without accreditation, Columbia could also lose some of its respectability as an Ivy League university, potentially impacting enrollment and application numbers if the school cannot meet the standards for accreditation.
purge the Frankfurt school of Marxism out of Columbia before they get another dime. Harvard Grads may be just stupid now, but the real assholes I’ve worked with came from Columbia (or Notre Dame)
